Member of Knesset Elisha Mardan of the Likud party announced Saturday evening his intention to establish a protest tent outside the Knesset building and remain there until a broad national unity government is formed. Mardan, who was sworn into the 26th Knesset less than a week ago, stated in a social media video that his goal is to help the nation remain united.
"I came to the Knesset to help this nation stay one nation," Mardan declared in the video. "In recent years, we have seen what we are capable of when we are together, on the battlefield, on the home front, in volunteering, at home. It is time for the parliament to look like this too."
Mardan recently took his seat in the Knesset, receiving prolonged applause during the swearing-in ceremony. He lost both his legs in combat in the Gaza Strip and insisted on standing during his oath of allegiance despite experiencing pain.
