The Reservists Party has released a national program aimed at addressing post-traumatic stress disorder among those impacted by the October 7 attacks and the ensuing war. Party leader Yoaz Hendel presented the main points of the "returning from the battlefield" initiative during a press conference on May 10, 2026.
Hendel appeared alongside party members who sustained physical and mental wounds during combat. The program is being positioned as a central element of the party's platform in advance of upcoming elections.
The plan centers on structured recovery support for reservists and others affected by trauma from the conflict that began with the October 7 attacks. Specific measures include expanded mental health resources and rehabilitation services tailored to combat-related PTSD.
The Reservists Party stated the initiative seeks to provide comprehensive national-level assistance. Hendel emphasized the need for systematic support following the scale of trauma experienced since October 2023.
The presentation occurred less than two days before the current date as political preparations intensify ahead of elections. The party has framed the PTSD recovery plan as a response to the widespread effects of the ongoing conflict on military personnel and civilians. Further details on implementation and funding are expected to be released in coming weeks as the election campaign progresses.
