Amit Idan, whose brother Roi Idan, a photographer for Ynet, was murdered with his wife on October 7th, spoke at an event commemorating three years since the massacre. Idan addressed Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, recounting a conversation his son Omri had with Ohana months prior. During that conversation, Omri Idan asked why a state inquiry commission had not been established. Ohana reportedly responded that there was no trust in the court system. Amit Idan then posed his own question to Ohana, asking what he and his colleagues feared and questioning Ohana's lack of faith in the judicial system. "Who are you not to recognize the justice system?" Idan asked. He urged Ohana to admit fault, stating, "Say 'we made a mistake,' and you will end your chapter in the history of the people of Israel. Let us begin to pick up the pieces."
