Braslavski Says 1,000 Days Felt Eternal

At 22:40 IDT, former hostage Rom Braslavski told the Hostages Square memorial marking 1,000 days since the Hamas-led October 7 massacre that the milestone feels like eternity after captivity and trauma. He said he had been held in Gaza for two years, described rehabilitation and PTSD as a continuing personal war, and vowed to make October 7 testimony his life mission. Israel owes survivors more than applause: their testimony must sharpen national memory, accountability and resolve against the terrorists who shattered Jewish families.
