Surprising moments in the Knesset: We are used to seeing in the Knesset normally, hard struggles and mutual accusations between the parties, but today (Wednesday) something a little different was held in the Knesset. Knesset member Matan Kahane initiated a unity conference between coalition and opposition Knesset members in which Knesset members said kind words to each other. At the conference, psalms were also recited for the healing of the officer who was injured in the attack a week and a half ago.

A particularly surprising connection was registered between the settler minister Orit Struck and the Mish Atid Knesset member, Ram Ben Barak, the working settlement man. Struck chose to say good words about Ben Barak: “I want to say good words to Ram Ben Barak, that we very, very differ in our opinions and I think we have a warm and special relationship, I discovered a true gentleman who knows how to listen even to people he disagrees with and even listen sympathetically” she said And she added: “He knows how to be fair when he promises something, he keeps it to the end and I think these are very good values that we should all learn from.”

With God’s help, Yevgeni Sova’s prayer will come true”
The organizer of the conference, Matan Kahane, wrote about the surprising connections on his Facebook account: “For example, Gadi Eisenkot spoke about Orit Struck, Elazar Stern spoke about Ben Gabir, Yifat Shasha Biton about Uriel Bosso, Orit Struck about Ram Ben Barak, Yossi Taib about Pnina Tamno Sheta , Yitzhak Wasserlauf spoke about Gadi Eisenkot and me.” He finished and wrote: “I wish we had many more unifying moments like this in the Knesset of Israel and the people of Israel. With God’s help, the prayer of Yevgeni Soba will come true and we will be able to host Nadav after his full recovery here in the Knesset.”
