"Three years without her. At the previous memorial, Roey wasn't there, and I wasn't sharp enough to understand that it was extreme and not just avoidance of difficulty," Adam wrote, adding, "Two days later, he took his own life."

She supports the establishment of a state commission of inquiry to examine the events of October 7 and the failures that led to the attack.
