Nava Lisha
Nava Lisha is a bereaved mother and activist within the Heroism Forum (Forum HaGvura), representing families of fallen IDF soldiers who advocate for continued military pressure and total victory in the conflict following the October 7 massacre.
Nava Lisha is the mother of Dvir Lisha, a fallen soldier from the Golani Brigade who was killed in action during the Iron Swords War. Since her son's death, Lisha has emerged as a prominent voice within the Heroism Forum (Forum HaGvura), an organization of bereaved families that emphasizes the national necessity of achieving the war's objectives and ensuring that the sacrifice of fallen soldiers leads to long-term security for the State of Israel.
Lisha's public activity is characterized by a firm stance against ceasefire deals that she and her fellow forum members believe would compromise Israeli security or render the IDF's achievements in Gaza incomplete. Her advocacy is rooted in the conviction that the blood of the fallen must not be in vain, and that only a decisive victory can prevent future threats to Israeli civilians.
On Thursday, August 6, 2026, Lisha was seen at the entrance to the political-security cabinet in Jerusalem, where she directly confronted Minister Orit Strook. In an emotional appeal, she urged the government not to approve a pending deal, representing the segment of bereaved families who fear that a premature end to hostilities would endanger the nation and dishonor the memory of those who fell in battle. Her presence at the cabinet entrance underscores the significant role that bereaved families play in the Israeli political and security discourse, often serving as a moral compass for the right-of-center and security-first sectors of society.
