Eliyahu Liebman, the father of Elyakim Liebman, who was killed in the Nova music festival massacre, replaced street signs on Salah al-Din Street in Jerusalem with new ones bearing the name "Heroes of the Revival War." This act of protest aims to rename the street in honor of those who fell in the October 7th attacks.
Member of Knesset Avichai Maoz has formally requested that Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion make this name change official. Maoz's appeal seeks to legitimize Liebman's initiative and permanently alter the street's designation.
However, the Jerusalem Municipality has stated that it has no intention of changing the street's name. The municipality's response indicates a refusal to adopt the proposed new name, maintaining the current designation of Salah al-Din Street.
