MK Almog Cohen Blames Left-Wing for 1,000 Days Since Terror Attack

Almog Cohen, a member of the Knesset from the Otzma Yehudit party, sharply criticized those commemorating the 1,000th day since a deadly terror attack in Israel. On social media, Cohen directly accused the political left of bearing responsibility for the tragedy, linking it to the refusal of reserve soldiers to serve, which he described as a contributing factor to the disaster. He condemned the creation of a special remembrance day, stating it was unnecessary because the nation remembers the tragedy constantly. Cohen wrote, "The extreme left marks today 1,000 days since the terrible massacre caused by the refusal disaster," and added, "We do not need a reminder or a special day, we remember the disaster you brought upon us every day, every hour." His comments reflect ongoing political tensions surrounding the interpretation of the events leading to the attack and the societal divisions over military service and national security.
