Nine members of the 26th Knesset were sworn in today who have had their lives transformed by the 7 October attacks and the subsequent Gaza conflict. The group includes Talik Guaili, Gadi Eisenkot, Rafi Ben Shitrit, Shira Shapira and Michal Nagri, who lost sons on 7 October and in Gaza operations.

Also sworn in were Sharon Sharabi, whose brother Yossi was killed in captivity; Moshe Feiglin, who lost a grandson; and Amry Ronen, whose grandmother was killed in her home. Elisha Madan, who was severely wounded and lost both legs in Beit Hanun, also took the oath.

The swearing-in of these nine parliamentarians marks a significant moment in Israeli political life, with multiple bereaved family members and wounded combat veterans entering the Knesset at a time of ongoing national security challenges following the October 7 attacks and subsequent military operations.
