Public activist Shifi Paz, who for years spearheaded the struggle for residents of South Tel Aviv, will be laid to rest at the Yarkon Cemetery. Her funeral procession is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM, marking the end of the life of a figure who became one of the most prominent voices advocating for the residents of South Tel Aviv's neighborhoods.
Paz became widely known for her determined public activism against illegal immigration to Israel. For years, she was at the forefront of efforts to change the reality in South Tel Aviv's neighborhoods, participating in demonstrations, leading protests, and working to bring the residents' plight to the public and political agenda.
Born to Holocaust survivors and immigrating to Israel from Poland as a child, Paz began leading the public campaign for South Tel Aviv residents in 2013. Over the years, she became a well-known, albeit controversial, figure, partly due to protest actions that led to confrontations with law enforcement, arrests, and even imprisonment.
Following news of her death, the "Station Area Environs" association, through which she worked for the area's residents, eulogized her. "Today we lost a brave leader, a dear friend, and a woman who was a symbol of determination, dedication, and love for the country," the association stated. They emphasized that Paz dedicated her life to the struggle for the neighborhood residents, serving as a significant public voice for them for years. "Shifi is no more, but her struggle has not ended," they added.
