Thousands gathered at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening, three days before elections, to demand the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th massacre. The rally, led by the "October Council" and families of victims and hostages, drew a large crowd, including political leaders such as Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Hazak party, Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, and Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats.
Rabbi Elhanan Danino, father of Uri Danino, who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival and murdered in Hamas captivity, spoke at the event. He stated, "Three years and a bit after that terrible day when our sons and daughters, our brothers and sisters, were kidnapped, massacred, burned, raped, and murdered, the leadership has still not made the crucial and necessary decision to conduct an inquiry into the truth."
Danino asserted that while an inquiry commission would not bring back their sons, it is a collective obligation. He suggested that those evading the establishment of a state commission likely have "good reasons" for doing so. He further noted that after three years, no parliamentary or governmental inquiry committee has been formed, implying "there is something to hide."
