Knesset Member Elisha Miden, of the Likud, announced that he will stand on his feet during the oath of allegiance to the Knesset. The announcement was made about three years after he was seriously wounded in battle. Miden lost both of his legs in battle in Gaza.
In the first post Miden published, he wrote that he would stand for the oath of allegiance despite the pain and the bleeding that has not stopped, and the medical condition that is still unclear. He called for the establishment of a national unity government.
