Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich Celebrates Birth of Grandchild After Son's Gaza Injury
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and his family are celebrating the birth of a new grandchild just months after his son, Benaya Smotrich, was severely wounded during fighting in the Gaza Strip. The minister shared his emotions on social media, recalling the difficult period when his son was hospitalized and undergoing rehabilitation at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. This time, the family returned to the hospital for a joyful reason: to welcome and hold their newborn grandson, the child of Benaya and Tamar Smotrich.
Smotrich expressed gratitude and admiration for the young couple, acknowledging the challenging journey they endured from the battlefield injury to parenthood. He concluded his message with the phrase "Am Yisrael Chai," emphasizing resilience and hope for the Israeli people.
