Rachel Edri of Ofakim, who became a national hero on October 7th, revealed in a recent interview with i24news her voting preferences and her deep hurt from Channel 12 news anchor Danny Kushmaro. Edri gained widespread recognition after she held off Hamas terrorists who infiltrated her home for approximately 20 hours on October 7th, serving them coffee and cookies, singing, and making them laugh, all while assisting police outside. She and her husband David were rescued alive, and the terrorists were eliminated. Tragically, four months after the attack, her husband David, who endured the ordeal with her and struggled to recover, passed away at the age of 68.
In the interview, Edri strongly criticized Kushmaro, who had commented that despite the October 7th massacre in Ofakim and the deaths of 33 residents, 65% of residents in the Mishor HaGafen neighborhood voted for the Likud party. Edri responded, "We love Bibi, there's nothing to do. No one will break us and he will be prime minister." She expressed profound disappointment and pain over Kushmaro's remarks, stating, "I am very disappointed in him, I was hurt by him, not only offended but I started to cry."
