Moshe Feiglin reveals the oath he took at his fallen grandson's grave
Zehut party chairman Moshe Feiglin appeared on the "On the Way to the Ballot Box" program to discuss his personal loss and criticize the management of the war nearly three years after October 7.
Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, was a guest on the C14 web program "On the Way to the Ballot Box with Dana Varon." During the interview, he shared details about conversations with his grandson who fell in the war and the oath he took at his grave. Alongside his personal grief, Feiglin harshly criticized the management of the war and the reality Israel faces nearly three years after the October 7 massacre.
Feiglin recounted being asked how his grandson's death affected his faith, given his long-standing role as a prominent voice against the Oslo Accords.
"I have no faith-related question. I don't know how to explain why. My faith, I hope, is probably naive enough that I don't have that question," he said.
He went on to describe the oath he took at his grandson's grave:
"He was a Negev machine gunner in the Givati reconnaissance unit and wanted so much to win. I swore that I would not let them take this victory away from me."
According to Feiglin, he and his grandson frequently discussed the war and the state of the country. His grandson's friends later told him that the topics Feiglin discussed with him were often repeated and debated in the field.
Feiglin harshly criticized the current results of the war:
"Look where we are today. Three years later. Do you see a victory, Dana? Where is the victory? Where is the absolute victory? On all fronts."
He also referred to his appearances on Channel 14 since the beginning of the war, claiming he had consistently warned about the direction Israel was heading. Towards the end, Feiglin attacked the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip:
"What did almost 1,000 soldiers die for? Is this the absolute victory after such a massacre, after such a horror? I cannot accept this."
Addressing the possibility of running in the upcoming elections, Feiglin clarified that the electoral threshold is not his primary concern: "I am not interested in the electoral threshold. There will be an alternative behind the curtain, even if only Tzipi, my wife, votes for me."
