Meir Abergil's Daughter Stars in Former PM Bennett's Election Campaign Video

Sivan Abergil, the 28-year-old actress and daughter of former criminal Meir Abergil, is featured prominently in a new campaign video for the "Together" party led by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. The video, released on July 9, 2026, depicts what is described as the collapse of a "poison machine" with Bennett’s potential election victory. Sivan told mako that she secured the role through an audition and not because of her family name, emphasizing her independent career as an actress and content creator with a large social media following.

Sivan explained that the director had previously worked with her on a successful commercial and remembered her, which led to the casting. She acknowledged that although she does not fully align with Bennett’s political views, she accepted the role because it did not conflict with her personal stance and saw it as a great opportunity for exposure. She also noted that her family is politically supportive of the right-wing, but they understand her professional choices.

Regarding her political views, Sivan described herself as centrist with a slight right-leaning tendency but refrained from disclosing her voting preferences, stating she is not deeply involved in politics. She revealed that her mother was very supportive of her participation in the campaign, while her father has not yet heard about it. Sivan also addressed the impact of her family name on her career, asserting that she is recognized for her own merit rather than her lineage.

The campaign video is part of the early election season buzz ahead of the 2026 elections, with Bennett aiming to position himself as a key contender. Sivan’s involvement highlights the intersection of politics and popular culture in Israel’s current political landscape.
