Over 100,000 Israelis gathered on Hostages Square in Tel Aviv on Saturday, calling for the establishment of a state commission to investigate the events of October 7. The Jerusalem Post reported that the rally was organized by the October Council, an organization representing families and friends of victims, as well as survivors of the Hamas attack.
The protest began with a moment of silence and speeches from relatives of those killed, former hostages, and soldiers. Organizers stated that three years after the attack, authorities are still attempting to evade responsibility and conceal the true causes of the events. Participants expressed solidarity with the families of hostages and active soldiers.
Relatives of victims also accused the government of a lack of transparency and support. Zoli Mor, who adopted the children of a couple killed on October 7, stated that the families deserve answers and that Israeli authorities have not provided comprehensive information about security failures. The October Council had previously issued an official warning to Inspector General of Police Danni Levi, citing concerns about potential provocations aimed at disrupting the event or discrediting participants.
Despite these concerns, the rally proceeded peacefully and concluded with a call for citizens to actively engage in the country's political life.
