An open letter to elected officials and the country's leaders

The mother of fallen IDF Major Yehuda Cohen, who was killed in Gaza, publishes an open letter to the country's leaders one day after the elections, calling for the formation of a unity government in light of the election results in which the two blocs are similar in size.

Two days after the elections, Tehila Cohen, the mother of fallen IDF Major Yehuda Cohen who was killed in combat in Gaza, publishes an open letter to elected officials and the country's leaders. She calls on them to form a unity government in light of the election results, in which the two blocs are similar in size and neither has a significant majority. Cohen describes the pain of losing her son, who fell in the first week of the ground incursion into Gaza, and the belief in change after October 7. She argues that the people cannot return to division and rift, and that given the security and internal challenges, there is a need for a broad government that unites rather than divides. She quotes her son's words: 'Together and only together we will win,' and calls on leaders to act according to this will.
