Shira Shapira, Mother of Fallen Hero Enar Shapira, Resigns to Enter Politics
Shira Shapira, an educator and mother of the late Israeli hero Enar Shapira, who was filmed throwing grenades from the 'death vehicle' during the October 7 attack in Re'im, resigned yesterday from her position as Deputy Director at the Ministry of Heritage. She was responsible for heritage matters in the Reclamation Area. The resignation coincides with the legal deadline requiring state employees to resign if they intend to run for Knesset elections.
According to reports from Michael Shemesh and Channel 13 News, Shira Shapira has recently received multiple political offers. While she is still in discussions with various political figures, the most cautious estimates suggest she will join Benny Gantz's party, National Unity (formerly associated with Gadi Eizenkot). She is expected to announce her final decision soon.
