  • I ask for your trust—every vote counts! I am yours 🌺 Each and every one of you is my partner, a partner in our path, a partner in the values that guide us. Every vote counts, because public support must never be taken for granted. Over the past five years, since entering the Knesset, I have lived and acted with an immense sense of mission—and yes, also with urgency and concern for the future of Israeli society—because this time, we truly must win. Through hard work together, we turned the Democrats into a large and powerful movement of 113,000 members. We have a historic role: to bring the message of democratic transformation, social justice, and

    אני מבקש את אמונכם - כל קול קובע! אני שלכם🌺 כל אחת ואחד מכם הוא שותף שלי, שותפה לדרך שלנו, שותף לערכים שמדריכים אותנו. כל קול קובע, כי תמיכה ציבורית איננה מובנת מאליה אף פעם. בחמש השנים האחרונות, מאז נכנסתי לכנסת, אני חי ופועל מתוך תחושת שליחות אדירה, וכן – גם מתוך תחושת דחיפות ודאגה לעתיד החברה הישראלית – כי הפעם הזו אנחנו באמת חייבים לנצח. בעבודה קשה ומשותפת הפכנו את הדמוקרטים להיות תנועה גדולה ואדירה של 113,000 חברים. יש לנו תפקיד היסטורי להביא את בשורת המהפך הדמוקרטי, הצדק החברתי, והח

  • I ask for your trust so that we can continue on our shared path 🇮🇱 Join > https://giladkariv.com/join/ - On 20 July—four weeks from now—the Democrats party primaries will take place, and I ask for your trust so that we can continue on our shared path: toward transformation and a government of repair and hope. We have traveled this path together, day and night, seven days a week, in the most magnificent civic protest Israeli society has ever known. We fought together in the Knesset and in the streets. We fought for our values and for our future, and for that of our children and grandchildren. Over the past three and a half years,

  • Haj Abu Fuad, a grandfather of more than thirty grandchildren, was subjected to a horrific racist assault on his way to work. I visited him today at his home in Jerusalem and will follow the case until the attackers are held accountable. Silence in the face of this violence encourages it to happen again.

    الحاج أبو فؤاد جدّ لأكثر من ثلاثين حفيدًا تعرّض لاعتداء عُنصري مروّع وهو في طريقه إلى عمله. زرتُه اليوم في منزله بالقدس وسأتابع القضية حتى محاسبة المعتدين. الصمت أمام هذا العنف يشجّع تكراره.

Pages that ran the ads

Each link opens the page's political ads in the Meta Ad Library.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in shekels, from 1 October 2025. Spend is the sum of Meta's range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as "1M+", so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend.
