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

Sivan Abergil, the 28-year-old 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, ahead of the anticipated 2026 elections, depicts what is described as the collapse of a "poison machine" with Bennett's possible victory. Sivan, an actress and content creator with tens of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram, secured the role through an audition and previous work with the director, who had cast her in a successful Bisli commercial.

In an interview with mako, Sivan emphasized that she was chosen for her talent and not her family name, stating, "I was accepted on my own merit, not because of my last name." She acknowledged that her father, who was released from prison five years ago, has not yet seen the campaign, but her mother was very supportive and excited. Sivan described her family as staunch supporters of the Likud party but clarified that she herself refrains from publicly sharing her political views, positioning herself near the center with a slight right-leaning tendency.

Despite the political nature of the campaign, Sivan views the opportunity as a professional acting role rather than a political endorsement. She noted that if the campaign conflicted with her personal beliefs, she would have declined. She also highlighted her broad creative work, including children's theater, fringe performances, commercials, and social media content with millions of views. Sivan expressed that her family name neither helps nor hinders her career, as she has faced rejections despite it.

The campaign video is part of a growing wave of political advertisements as Israel approaches the next Knesset elections, with Bennett aiming to challenge the current political landscape. Sivan's participation adds a notable personal dimension given her family's controversial background and her own rising public profile.
