Last September, Yuval emerged as the winner of the 13th season of "Big Brother," and like all the winners before her, she too traditionally turned off the lights in the famous house.
On Thursday, she returned to that happy moment, when she once again wore the iconic dress that accompanied her as she entered and left the house – all for one purpose: to sharpen the message of returning all the hostages still held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

At the beginning of the video in question, Ma'atuk is seen at her peak moment in the season, as she emerges from the "Big Brother" house as a winner and is embraced by hosts Liron Weizman and Guy Zuaretz. In one moment, the happy atmosphere changes, when a transcription is documented in a dark room with pictures of the abductees on its walls, in an attempt to illustrate the great darkness in which the abductees are located.
Ma'atuk touches on the pictures of the abductees, when suddenly the voice of "Big Brother" is heard, asking for the traditional request: "Yuval, don't forget to turn off the light." In response, Yuval responded in a video posted on her Instagram account, where she has 177,<> followers: "I don't turn off the lights until everyone comes home." Immediately afterwards, she wears a shirt with pictures of the abductees, bearing the inscription "Bring them home now," while wearing the necklace with the famous disc engraved "Our heart is captive in Gaza," the proceeds of which will be donated to the headquarters of the struggle for the return of the prisoners.

She also added a few written words to the video, through which she urged decision makers. "I don't turn off the lights until everyone comes home! 135 abductees are still held captive by Hamas. Bring them back now!"
It should be noted that since October 7, when the "Iron Swords" war broke out, Ma'atuk has been taking an active part in the struggle to return the abductees, commemorate those murdered in the massacre and strengthen the security forces. Last month, when she came to collect the million shekels she won on the reality show, she did not forget to be photographed with a large sign that included pictures of all the abductees. Before that, she participated in a march in memory of Ruth Peretz, a girl with cerebral palsy who was murdered at the Nova party together with her father Arik, z"l, and of Noya Dan, the young woman on the autistic spectrum, who was also murdered on the terrible day.
