Zeigen advocates Palestinian statehood

Date unknown

Steckelbach follows two bereaved men taking different political paths. Yonatan Zeigen, whose mother Vivian was killed in 2023, advocates cooperation with Palestinian leadership, a Palestinian state alongside Israel and shared institutions including Gaza. The reporter calls his position a small minority within Jewish-Israeli society. Shlomi Damri, whose brother Dan was killed fleeing the attack, wants reservists in leadership and makes conscription, a Zionist government and no Palestinian state coalition conditions. In a complete exchange he advocates settlements and control of the occupied West Bank. The reporter says his Reservists party could win seats in polls. Zeigen's A Place for All will not contest because polling suggests it would miss the threshold; he instead urges people in a southern Bedouin city to vote to replace the government. Arab turnout could be decisive, and no clear election outcome is forecast.

In Steckelbach's campaign report, bereaved peace activist Yonatan Zeigen advocates working with Palestinian leadership to establish a Palestinian state beside Israel, with shared institutions and Gaza included. The reporter describes his view as a small minority within Jewish-Israeli society. His remarks are distinct from his separately filmed turnout appeal; the recording date is not supplied.
