National Memorial Ceremony for October 7th Victims Announced

The "Qomu" movement and families of October 7th victims have announced the opening of public registration for tickets to the third national memorial ceremony commemorating the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at Park Hayarkon in Tel Aviv, beginning at 9:15 PM.

A lineup of 19 Israeli artists, including Miri Mesika, Ran Danker, and Eden Golan, is set to perform. The ceremony will be hosted by former hostage Eli Sharabi and actress Shani Cohen. Organizers stated that the event is funded through a crowdfunding campaign, and its realization as an open park event for tens of thousands of participants depends on reaching the funding goal.

Alongside the ceremony preparations, the families launched an awareness campaign titled "Israel Does Not Forget." This campaign involves distributing documentary materials and videos from the October 7th attacks to raise public awareness and encourage participation and support for the ceremony. "This year's ceremony will be a difficult and painful event, but we must not forget the massacre we endured, we must not let the memory fade," said Yonatan Shamriz, founder of the "Qomu" movement. He urged the Israeli public to continue supporting the crowdfunding effort to make it the largest memorial event in the country's history.

Further details indicate that Sharabi and Cohen will host the ceremony. There is also consideration among the organizers regarding whether Shamriz will deliver a speech this year.
