Dear MK, it's in your hands

An open letter to an anonymous Member of Knesset after the elections, calling on her to focus on substantive parliamentary work and social legislation instead of bloc politics. The writer mentions laws that have been delayed for years as an example of the Knesset's power to change lives.

Shira Kadri-Ovadia addresses an open letter to an anonymous Member of Knesset, shortly after the November 2026 elections, calling on her to focus on substantive parliamentary work instead of bloc politics and viral provocations. The writer mentions two laws as examples: a law extending the statute of limitations for sexual offenses within the family, which passed in the outgoing Knesset in June 2026 without opposition, and emergency regulations for people with disabilities that were delayed for 20 years until finally approved in the Welfare Committee. The letter emphasizes that the power to change citizens' lives lies in the hands of MKs, and that cross-camp cooperation is effective and just on social issues.
