Dani Algratt, whose brother Itzik Algratt was murdered in Hamas captivity, launched a sharp attack on Likud MK Elisha Yishai Madan, accusing him of hypocrisy regarding his call for a unity government. Algratt criticized Madan in a post on X, stating that Madan's current push for unity was hypocritical because he had not supported Algratt's 180-day hunger strike for the return of hostages and an end to their abandonment.
"This is not unity. This is hypocrisy," Algratt wrote, adding that he had not heard Madan "shout my cry" or seen him share the burden of his struggle. Algratt emphasized that Madan was not present when he needed support for the hostages' cause.
Madan, a reservist who lost both legs in combat in the Gaza Strip, recently set up a protest tent outside the Knesset calling for a unity government involving Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot. He announced his intention to remain there regardless of weather conditions and invited the public to join him. This initiative coincides with ongoing political negotiations for a new government.
