Families of those killed and abducted during the October 7th Hamas attacks gathered outside the Knesset in Jerusalem on Tuesday to protest. Aharon Troan, whose sister Shachar Matias Shenar was murdered at Kibbutz Holit, stated that no government representative had come to offer condolences or explanations. Gal Goren, son of Avner and Miah Goren, who were murdered and whose bodies were taken to Gaza, spoke emotionally about the ongoing grief and shame.
"How do you write three years of longing?" Goren asked, referencing the duration since the attack. "How do you talk about 1097 days that are actually one unending day? What do you say about three years of guilt, shame, and regret? What haven't we cried out against this cursed place and everywhere else? What haven't we warned about? What haven't we demanded? What haven't we lost?"
Protests were also scheduled to take place at other locations across the country.
