The woman who told Bennett the truth to his face: "We really got slapped by him"

Ziva Factor, a resident of Ashkelon, approached Naftali Bennett during his visit to the city's promenade and told him face-to-face that she had voted for him in the past but would not do so again. The video has surpassed one million views. In an interview with C14, she recounts the spontaneous encounter, explains her disappointment with the formation of a government with the left and Arabs, and defends her right to express a political opinion.

Ziva Factor, 38, a self-employed permanent makeup artist, married and mother of two, approached Naftali Bennett during his visit to the Ashkelon promenade about two weeks ago and told him: "Here is a person I voted for in the last elections... and I am not going to do it again." The video documenting the encounter has surpassed one million views on social media. In an interview with C14, she recounts that she noticed Bennett's activity at the location, stopped with her husband to listen, and after feeling that he was "taking credit for things he didn't do at all," decided to wait for him to finish and approach him. She explains that the disappointment stems from forming a government with the left and Arabs, contrary to the expectations she had of him in the past. According to her, she and her husband even checked how to vote for him in the previous elections. Factor says that at first she feared the exposure would harm her personally or professionally, but decided not to hide her opinions: "Why should I be ashamed of my opinion? As a citizen of the State of Israel who lives, pays taxes, believes in a certain way, why should I be silent?" She emphasizes that the message was not personal towards Bennett, but an expression of disappointment as a voter.
