Yuval Sharvit Trabelsi, a survivor of the Nova music festival massacre and a widow from the October 7th attacks, has pleaded with the public to keep politics out of the upcoming anniversary of the massacre. Trabelsi, who lost her husband Mor on that day, expressed her distress over provocative social media posts attempting to leverage the tragedy for political gain.
She specifically called out posts suggesting that voting for a certain party would honor her and her family's loss. "I don't want to judge, I don't want to get into it, but this is exploitation and it's shameful," she stated, emphasizing that the day is meant for remembering the fallen and not for political campaigning. "Everything can wait until tomorrow."
Trabelsi recounted her harrowing experience at the Nova festival, where she and her husband Mor had arrived shortly before the Hamas attack began. While attempting to escape, their vehicle was shot at and later rammed by terrorists, causing it to overturn. Trabelsi lost consciousness and awoke to find her husband dead from a gunshot wound to the head. She was rescued by soldiers five hours later.
Her plea comes as the one-year anniversary of the October 7th attacks approaches, a period often marked by heightened emotions and public discourse.
