Singer Dana International expressed sharp criticism on her Instagram account regarding the way Israel is commemorating the October 7th massacre.

International voiced frustration over what she perceives as a disconnect between the national mourning and the political and security leadership's accountability. She wrote that while the memory of the victims is honored, the lessons from the events of October 7th have not been learned, and those responsible for security on that day are now delivering speeches about the fallen.
