Families of victims from the October 7th Hamas attacks, represented by the "Din VeTzedek" (Law and Justice) forum, are expressing sharp anger towards the organizers of the state memorial ceremony held at Yarkon Park. They accuse the organizers of silencing and excluding them from the event due to their public political stances. The forum stated that despite the ceremony being defined as national, its organizers deliberately chose not to approach their representatives or allow them to speak. The "Din VeTzedek" forum claims this exclusion stems from their persistent demand for an independent and equitable state commission of inquiry. They advocate for a commission balanced between the coalition and opposition, including representatives of bereaved families and hostages, similar to the model used for the US commission after the September 11th attacks. "Tonight's ceremony is a one-sided political event, and it does not represent a large segment of the bereaved families," the forum declared. Following their exclusion, the families announced they would voice their message at the central ceremony taking place at the Nova site in Re'im.
