Israeli President Isaac Herzog attended the 2025 Pride Parade in Jerusalem on Thursday to honor the memory of Shira Banki, who was murdered in 2015.
"Ten years have passed since a bright and kind-hearted 15-year-old girl was murdered by an extremist who stabbed her to death and injured six other participants during the Pride Parade in Jerusalem," Herzog wrote in a post on X/Twitter.
"We demand love, respect, and equality—not only for the LGBTQ+ community, which is an inseparable part of our society, but for all groups in Israeli society," the president stated.
