President Isaac Herzog and First Lady Michal Herzog hosted members and bereaved families from Kibbutz Kerem Shalom at 02:02 IDT on the 1,000th day since the Hamas-led October 7 massacre. The gathering included the mother of Sgt. Yaron Zohar, who was killed defending the kibbutz, and testimony about war, evacuation, rebuilding and return home.

Israel should answer Hamas's cruelty with memory, return, defense and renewed Jewish life in the Gaza envelope.
