Hostage's Cousin Accuses Netanyahu of Erasing October 7th Failures

Gil Dickman, the cousin of Carmel Gat, who was abducted and murdered in captivity, stated at a press conference for victims of the October 7th massacre that "they didn't wake up Netanyahu on October 7th? In the October 7th file, there are a thousand alarm clocks." He accused "the poison machine" of attempting to downplay a decade-and-a-half-long failure. "We will not allow you to bury the failure like you erased 46 murdered hostages," Dickman declared. He vowed, "We will not let you lie that you returned everyone. We will be in front of you like the mark of Cain on your forehead."

Dickman's remarks were made during a press conference held by victims and families of those affected by the October 7th Hamas attacks. The statement implies a broader criticism of the government's handling of security failures leading up to and during the attacks, as well as the subsequent efforts to deal with the hostage situation.
