Israeli singer Maya Dedon, currently serving in the military as part of the IDF's entertainment troupes, is expected to face a court-martial after inadvertently revealing her political vote. Dedon shared a photo on her Instagram account on election day, which showed her in uniform next to a ballot slip. The slip, peeking out of an envelope, indicated she had voted for the Likud party.
Dedon quickly deleted the post minutes after publishing it, but the image had already circulated. The IDF confirmed that the soldier would be tried according to regulations, emphasizing that the military is a state institution and apolitical. "The IDF is a state and apolitical army. It is strictly forbidden to use the IDF, its uniforms, or its symbols for political purposes, including on social media and introducing political content into service frameworks," a spokesperson stated.
On election day for the 26th Knesset, Dedon had encouraged her followers to vote, posting the picture from behind the voting booth curtain. She was holding the ballot envelope, from which the Likud party's slip was visible. She later posted a nearly identical, corrected photo where the ballot was fully concealed, but then deleted that one as well.
