The photo that moved the nation: "Throw the grenades outward, not at each other"

Shira Shapira, mother of Israel's hero Aner Shapira, and Elisha Medan, who lost both his legs in Gaza, were sworn in as members of the 26th Knesset. In a joint interview, they discuss what they have in common despite their political differences and the need for unity.

Shira Shapira from the Yashar party, mother of Israel's hero Aner Shapira who deflected grenades at the death shelter, and Elisha Medan from Likud, who lost both his legs in Gaza, were sworn in this week as members of the 26th Knesset. The two are interviewed together and talk about what they have in common despite their political differences. Shapira, an architect by profession, says she entered politics following October 7 and a sense of duty to continue her son's path. Medan, son of Rabbi Yaakov Medan, says he received a call from Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Chief of Staff to join Likud, and that his injury and the solidarity he saw around him moved him toward unity. Both emphasize the need to throw the verbal grenades outward and not at each other.
