Mordechai David, an activist for the Otzma Yehudit party, has been cast in a new web series set to premiere soon. In the series, he will portray a "right-wing" young man who falls in love with a "left-wing" young woman. The plot also involves the young woman's mother, who opposes the relationship. David's casting comes shortly after he was offered a parliamentary advisor position within the Knesset for one of Otzma Yehudit's members of Knesset. He had joined the party's youth wing, headed by Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, during the last election campaign. David became a prominent and controversial figure in right-wing protests in recent months, known for his activism against demonstrators and public figures associated with the left. He notably filmed himself blocking the vehicles of former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former Supreme Court President Aharon Barak. Following these incidents, he was investigated in February on suspicion of offenses including disturbing public order, trespassing, and assault, and was placed under restrictions regarding contact with the two figures.
