Yael Shelbia Steps Into the Role of Prime Minister's Wife for Charity Special
Top Israeli model Yael Shelbia talks about balancing her busy international career with Formula 1 partner Lance Stroll, her deep roots in Israel, and stepping into a satirical prime ministerial role for charity.
Yael Shelbia carefully chooses which offers to accept, as she is one of Israel's most successful and busiest models. Tonight (Thursday), she steps into the shoes of the prime minister's wife for a special broadcast of 'Rak BeIsrael' in collaboration with the 'Haltartan' association for cancer awareness. Reflecting on the role, she shared in an interview with mako: "I've been through enough interviews in my life, so I can handle things like this."
It is no secret that Shelbia's schedule is particularly packed these days, involving frequent trips abroad for work and alongside her partner, Formula 1 star Lance Stroll. "I wouldn't define it as hard, it's part of the experience," the model explains, noting it has simply become part of her daily routine.
Shelbia emphasizes a deep connection to her roots despite the constant travel: "Israel is always my home, it always was and always will be." Looking back, she embraces the journey: "We're enjoying it, that's what I'll remember in the end when I'm older—these years when I traveled, flew, and worked, and I'm enjoying the ride immensely."
