Fauda Creator Lior Raz Demands Political Change Ahead of Knesset Elections
Fauda co-creator Lior Raz called for political change ahead of the October 27 Knesset elections, criticizing the government's treatment of military reservists.
Lior Raz, co-creator of the hit international series "Fauda", has publicly called for political change ahead of the upcoming 26th Knesset elections scheduled for October 27, 2026. In a sharp Instagram post published on Wednesday, the actor criticized the government's treatment of reservists and declared his stance on future coalitions.
Call for Responsibility and Change
"Since October 7, one thing must be clear to all of us: the State of Israel needs change!" Raz wrote. He emphasized that the transformation must stem from responsibility for the future rather than anger or political polarization. The creator focused heavily on the immense sacrifices made by reservists and their families since the outbreak of the war.
"The reservists and their families are paying an enormous price. They deserve a country that stands behind them, not just in words, but in deeds."
Raz explicitly stated that he will not vote for any government that fails to support reservists while simultaneously backing those who evade national service. He framed the issue around shared values and destiny rather than traditional left-right divisions.
Broader Political Engagement
Raz's political intervention follows a recent controversy involving his "Fauda" co-creator, Avi Issacharoff. Issacharoff launched a fierce attack on X against right-wing media figures and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's circle following remarks made on television regarding MK Gadi Eisenkot. The growing political outspokenness of the show's creators highlights their increasing involvement in public discourse.
