Jerusalem, 14 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Likud MK Elisha Madan, a reserve soldier who lost both legs fighting in Gaza, announced Saturday night that he would pitch a tent outside the Knesset to promote a broad national unity government.
In a social media video, Madan said he would remain at the tent around the clock, regardless of weather conditions, to represent Israelis calling for national reconciliation.
“I came to the Knesset to help this nation remain one,” he said, adding that Israelis had demonstrated their strength through unity on the battlefield, on the home front, and through volunteer work.
Madan plans to welcome civilians, soldiers, bereaved families, and public officials to the tent to discuss national unity. His initiative comes amid ongoing coalition negotiations and political divisions over the formation of the next government.
