Social media personality Bar Cohen, known for her direct and opinionated style on Instagram, shared her profound indecision regarding voting in the recent Israeli elections. On election day, Cohen confessed to her followers that she was experiencing shock and confusion, admitting she had previously abstained from voting once. She explained her internal struggle, stating she wanted to support Yaron, whom she described as a professional, before considering his political alignment.

Cohen expressed deep concern over the rising cost of living and education, emphasizing these issues as a citizen and mother. She voiced a desire for a minister of education who cares about teachers and children, contrasting this with a hypothetical minister lacking basic knowledge. However, she drew a firm ideological line, stating, "But! I don't want an Arab in the government. That's the truth and I just don't know what to do."

This confession followed a recent Instagram Q&A session where Cohen discussed her political leanings. When questioned about supporting Professor Yaron Zehka despite her right-wing views, she defended her choice by citing economic and social reasons. She argued that Zehka is a professional who would benefit Israelis financially. She also drew a parallel to former Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu forming governments with left-wing parties in the past.
