The "October Council," an organization representing families affected by the October 7th attacks, has alerted the Police Commissioner to alleged plans by individuals connected to the ruling coalition to disrupt a rally scheduled for Saturday evening in Tel Aviv's "Hostages Square." The council claims to have received credible intelligence from authorized sources and party leaders indicating that these individuals intend to provoke disturbances and create confrontations during the event.
The rally, organized under the banner "After three years of struggle, we are starting to fix," aims to call for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the failures leading up to the October 7th massacre. The "October Council" has formally requested increased police presence and proactive measures to prevent any attempts to sabotage the rally before they occur.
"Any attempt at disruption or provocation by external elements is not related to us and is not our responsibility. We expect the police to prevent these incidents before they happen, not just react afterward," stated the "October Council." They expressed concern that attempts might be made to introduce unauthorized signs, flags, and messages, and to stage provocations designed to be misinterpreted by the public and media as part of the official event, thereby undermining its message and purpose.
The rally is expected to draw thousands of participants from across Israel, with organized transportation arranged. The event will be hosted by actor Yossi Marshek and TV presenter Titi Aynaw, and will feature performances by the band HaDag Nachash, Dana Berger, and Anya Bukstein. Special video tributes to victims and their families will also be screened.
The "October Council" emphasized that this is a civilian gathering of families, not affiliated with any political party. The central message will be the demand for an independent state commission of inquiry into the October 7th events, alongside calls for accountability, unity, hope, and repair. Opposition leader Yair Lapid, Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman, and Democrats chairman Yair Golan are expected to attend.
