One of the most interesting phenomena of Israel’s 2022 election is a 20-year-old woman named Hadar Muchtar. A complete unknown as recently as two months ago, Muchtar suddenly emerged as a sensation because of her social media presence, especially on TikTok.
Just a few weeks ago, Muchtar formed a new party named Tze’irim Bo’arim, or Youth on Fire, and announced that she plans on running the party in the upcoming election.
