Israeli star Gal Gadot, who returned to Israel to vote in the elections, appeared on the satirical show "Eretz Nehederet" and spoke about the challenges of living abroad since the war began. Gadot stated that it is difficult to be an Israeli abroad today, noting that the global news coverage of events in Israel differs significantly from what is seen within the country. She mentioned taking precautions, such as wearing a mask when shopping in public places like supermarkets, to avoid drawing attention to her Israeli identity.

During her appearance on the show's recurring "Wandering Taxi" segment, hosted by the character Asher Ben Hurin (portrayed by Yuval Samo), Gadot discussed her life in Los Angeles, where she has lived for nearly 12 years. She explained her efforts to provide context for the Israeli reality to those around her, highlighting the prevalent hatred and the differing perspectives seen internationally versus domestically.

Gadot also touched upon her family life, sharing that she and her husband, Yaron Varsano, have four daughters. One daughter was born in Israel, while three were born in the United States. She described how her daughters, despite living in America, retain their Israeli identity, quickly adopting Hebrew slang and expressions when visiting Israel.

When asked about the possibility of her family returning to live in Israel, Gadot confirmed their plans, stating, "Of course, we are building a home here. We want to return, no question."

Earlier, Gadot had shared a video on her Instagram account from the polling station, encouraging her followers to vote. She expressed her support for the "change bloc" and urged everyone to exercise their democratic right, stating her intention to vote for change.
