Legendary Israeli singer Yehudit Ravitz, long known as a left-wing supporter who performed at anti-government rallies, has sparked controversy by sharing posts from right-wing figures and viewpoints. Ravitz, who previously performed at protests on Kaplan Street, has recently posted videos opposing participation in a coalition with Arab parties and liked posts by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This shift has caused confusion among some of her fans.
In an interview with the program "Tzinor," Ravitz stated, "I am an artist, I like, I share posts. I am aware of what I am doing. This is my personal page, and I take full responsibility for it. I live in the real world, I am not on a political map." She emphasized her artistic freedom and connection to reality.
