Lali Drori, a member of the 'Am Yisrael' party led by Winter, who lost her son Saadia in the war, has responded to intense pressure to resign from her political position. Drori addressed right-wing activist Yigal Malka, who had posted a video criticizing her and other party members for appearing to complain.
Drori acknowledged Malka's observation, admitting that she does cry, often at night, during Shabbat, or when reminded of her son's favorite songs or foods. However, she emphasized her resilience, stating that she gets up every morning with gratitude and gathers strength to continue her mission. She draws inspiration from the legacy of her son and his fallen brothers, who died defending the nation.
Drori declared her commitment to reconnecting the Israeli people, despite facing continued incitement, mockery, humiliation, and boycotts. She stated that she owes this to Saadia, to the soldiers, and to all of Israel. She recounted that hearing the song used in Malka's video, intended to mock her, made her think of her son whispering, 'He hurt me, Mom.'
Concluding her message, Drori asserted her unwavering resolve, stating that she has endured too much to be deterred or frightened into resignation. She proclaimed herself "steel, Lali's steel." Reports indicate that Malka has since deleted his post targeting Drori.
