He has been a member of the Israeli parliament since 2003, representing a faction of the National Union party, whose party platform calls for the voluntary transfer of Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel to other Arab countries. Eldad was a strong opponent of the withdrawal of Jewish Israeli settlements from Gaza (see Gaza Disengagement) and was one of the few politicians to call for nonviolent resistance in response. As a doctor, he specializes in plastic surgery and the treatment of burn victims.
