Lawyer Eliakim HaEtzni, one of the pillars of the Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, former MK in the Knesset, passed away at the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.
HaEetzni lived in Kiryat Arba from the day it was established until his death.
HaEetzni was a member of the Yesha council and left the council before the displacement of the settlements of Gush Katif and northern Samaria, due to the opposition of the council to leaving Gush Katif.
HaEetzani was a member of the secretariat of the "Revival" party and served as a member of the Knesset on behalf of the faction in the 12th Knesset. He was married to Zifora until her death in 2018 and fathered three sons and one daughter.
