Dozens of bereaved families from the "Din VeTzedek" (Law and Justice) and "Gevura" (Bravery) forums gathered in a tent in Jerusalem to demand the establishment of a "national" inquiry commission. Orly Cohen, mother of Amit, who was murdered in a shelter in Re'im, stated during the families' declaration, "We will not allow a commission called 'state' to be established, which will be composed of a Supreme Court justice who is at the heart of the social dispute and has lost widespread public trust." She added, "The part of the court that has given backing to our enemies for years must be investigated. We represent hundreds of families of October 7th victims who do not trust a state inquiry commission of Supreme Court justices who will be the shield for those who abandoned our security."
The families are protesting against the potential establishment of a state commission of inquiry that would include Supreme Court justices, arguing that these justices are part of the current social controversy and have lost public confidence. They believe that the court system itself, which they claim has supported their enemies for years, needs to be investigated. The families expressed their distrust in such a commission, viewing it as a way to protect those they hold responsible for the security failures of October 7th.
