A dispute has erupted online between former members of the band “Shfatim” regarding support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among residents of Shderot. The argument began with a call for Shderot residents to join the campaign of Benny Gantz, a political rival to Netanyahu. Musician Chaim Oliel asserted that former residents who have left Shderot are critical of Netanyahu, while those who remain largely support him. In response, Kobi Oz argued that the years under Netanyahu's leadership have been damaging for the country, stating it’s “time for a change.” The exchange highlights a perceived difference in perspectives between those who have remained in Shderot and those who have moved away, regarding the current political landscape and future leadership. The disagreement underscores the deeply divided political climate within Israel.
