Former Channel 13 news anchor Netali Shem Tov has publicly acknowledged her role in her party's failure to pass the electoral threshold in the recent elections. Shem Tov posted a candid reflection on social media, stating, "When you fail, you take responsibility. I failed and I take full responsibility."
She explained her decision to enter politics several months ago, citing what she perceived as "illogical distortions" in the country, including the loss of the Negev and Galilee regions, misdirected rewards, discrimination among citizens, and a disregard for the "good people" who sustain the nation. The events of October 7th, she stated, revealed these societal issues as existential threats, motivating her political involvement.

She concluded by stating that despair is the opposite of Zionism and that Israelis deserve better.
