Hostages Square Rally Renews October 7 Inquiry Demand

Times of Israel published at 02:34 IDT that thousands gathered at Tel Aviv's Hostages Square for the 1,000-day memorial rally, where Einav Zangauker vowed families would not give up on a state commission of inquiry into the Hamas-led October 7 massacre. Ynet carried the same rally speeches from Zangauker, bereaved daughter Shir Matias, Eyal Eshel, father of Roni Eshel, and former hostage Rom Braslavski, who said his personal war with PTSD continues. Channel 13, i24NEWS and Al-Monitor traced the October Council's day of memorials, marches and testimony events. Israel should honor victims, survivors and soldiers by keeping Hamas's guilt central and demanding a serious inquiry that strengthens the state.
