Thousands Rally in Tel Aviv Demanding State Inquiry into October 7 Failures
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Thousands of people gathered at the Hostages Square in Tel Aviv for a rally organized by the "October Council," an umbrella group of former hostages, bereaved families, and survivors of the October 7th massacre. The demonstration was held amid ongoing demands from bereaved families and victims of the attack for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry to investigate the failures that led to the events.

Rabbi Elchanan Danino, whose son Uri was murdered in Hamas captivity, spoke at the rally, stating, "We demand a state commission of inquiry that will investigate everyone. Whoever evades the establishment of a state commission of inquiry likely has a reason for it. Three years have passed, and they still haven't found time to establish even a parliamentary or governmental inquiry committee.

The protesters are pushing for a comprehensive investigation into the security and governmental failures preceding and during the October 7th attacks. The "October Council" represents a significant portion of those directly affected by the Hamas onslaught, amplifying their calls for accountability.
