1,000 days without an inquiry commission: bereaved families declare a protest day | These are the events
1,000 ימים בלי ועדת חקירה: משפחות שכולות הכריזו על יום מחאה | אלו האירועים
Summary
Ahead of the 1,000-day mark since October 7, bereaved families, hostage families and survivors of captivity held a press conference declaring a day of protest and attacking the government over its intention to establish a politically appointed commission of inquiry rather than a state one. Reut Recht-Edri, who lost her son, said: 'The head of the Shin Bet is using my child's blood to serve [his interests].' The families demand an independent state commission to investigate the October 7 failures.
