Government Advances National Memorial for October 7 Massacre, Calling It the 'Resilience Museum'

The government is advancing the establishment of a memorial site for the October 7 massacre and refers to it in internal documents as the “Resilience Museum,” it was revealed tonight, Sunday, on Kan News.

As part of the steps to establish the “museum,” the government is advancing internal planning on the issue. Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, who visited the United States in recent days, met with the leadership of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum to discuss cooperation on establishing the national memorial site for the massacre.

The internal documents state that this is the “Resilience Museum,” but the word “massacre” does not appear at all. This comes as the government is refraining from establishing a state commission of inquiry into the failure that occurred during its term.

This is another stage in the government’s effort to blur the meaning of the massacre, continuing the official decision to call the war the “War of Resilience,” which passed as a binding government decision.
