Singer Ofer Levi Strongly Supports Netanyahu Amid Artists' Silence on Right-Wing Politics

Israeli singer Ofer Levi appeared on the podcast "In Sharon's Living Room," where he expressed unwavering support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Levi described Netanyahu as central to his life, calling him "my beloved" and praising him for integrity, stating, "He is the only one who hasn't stolen or cheated." He dismissed allegations against Netanyahu, including those related to a court case, as baseless and sarcastically offered to bring cigars and whiskey to challenge the accusations.

Levi also criticized many artists in the entertainment industry who avoid publicly supporting Netanyahu or right-wing positions. He claimed these individuals are not true artists, accusing them of fear and insincerity. Levi emphasized that a genuine artist focuses on their craft and speaks the truth regardless of public opinion, urging people to be authentic and not afraid of consequences.

The interview highlights a divide within Israeli cultural figures regarding political expression, with Levi openly defying the trend of silence or opposition toward Netanyahu among many entertainers.
