After Revealing She Voted Likud: This Is Singer Maya Dadon's Punishment

In depth

Singer Maya Dadon, who serves in a military troupe, posted footage on election day from behind the voting screen in which a Likud ballot slip can be seen sticking out of the envelope, while she was wearing her uniform. The footage was deleted minutes later, but she was brought up on disciplinary charges.

According to Channel 14, during the trial Dadon claimed she did not know that IDF soldiers are not allowed to post political content. An IDF spokesperson said: "There is an absolute prohibition on using the uniform for political purposes."

According to N12, her commanders settled for a reprimand only, and an IDF spokesperson said she received a disciplinary sentence accordingly. According to Ynet, the decision whether to punish soldiers who violated the guidelines rests with their commanders' discretion.
