Yoav Hochman, 21, soldier

Yoav serves in the Israeli navy. He grew up in Kochav Yair, a border town. It’s the first time he is able to vote, but he isn’t sure that he will, even though a spokesperson for the Israeli army guaranteed that every soldier in the sea, on air and on land, no matter where, would be able to vote during this election campaign.

“There is too much talking. The Israeli politics is corrupt. I might vote for Tafnit of Uzi Dayan.”

Uzi Dayan, a former deputy of the Israel Defense Forces’ Commander in Chief, is now the leader of Tafnit, a new party whose main platform is fighting corruption.

“I hope Olmert will not be elected. He is corrupt for sure. They are all making promises to get elected, and then they don’t do anything.”
