Thousands gather in Tel Aviv to demand state probe on October 7 failures
Families and officials demand a state commission with powers to compel testimony amid fears of a political whitewash, rallying thousands more than two years after the Oct. 7 attacks.
- Thousands in Tel Aviv gathered at Habima Square to demand an immediate state commission of inquiry more than two years after Oct. 7, as the cabinet announced plans for an independent commission with a ministerial committee to propose its mandate within 45 days.
- The October Council says families unveiled a 'Wall of Truth' inviting Israelis to write questions, referencing Gaza envelope losses on Oct. 7, and argues only a state commission can compel officials to testify under oath.
- The wall displayed questions including 'Who knew?' and 'Who abandoned the Gaza border region?', while El Ashel said, 'We will not give up, we will not be silent and we will not allow anyone to erase the truth'.
- High-Profile politicians attended in support and organizers signaled the protest could shape how the committee defines the inquiry's coverage and time periods.
- Bereaved families said 'For those who lost a child or a sibling, time has stopped' and speakers declared 'Behind it is a generation with an open wound', stressing the urgent need for inquiry.
