Thousands gathered in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square on Saturday evening for a rally organized by the "October Council," calling for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the events of October 7th. The rally was attended by bereaved families, former hostages and their relatives, alongside opposition party leaders including Yair Lapid, Avigdor Lieberman, Gadi Eisenkot, and Yair Golan.
Rabbi Elhanan Danino, father of Uri Danino, who was abducted and murdered in Hamas captivity, delivered a speech emphasizing the necessity of the commission. "A commission of inquiry will not bring back our sons, but it is a duty for all of us," Danino stated. He added, "Whoever evades the establishment of a state commission of inquiry likely has good reasons for it." Danino also asserted, "A nation that does not investigate its past abandons its future. A leader who does not demand truth and uphold it loses the right to lead."
Yair Golan, Chairman of the Democrats, declared at the rally, "Starting this coming Wednesday, we will act to establish a state commission of inquiry that will bring the truth to light and do justice for the families."
