During the ceremony, candles arranged in the shape of “7.10” for October 7, the date of the attack carried out by Hamas, and the “Star of David”, the symbol of Judaism, were lit.
It was noteworthy that those who attended the commemoration ceremony carried anti-government banners as well as banners saying “Bring them home” for Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip.
Those who attended the commemoration ceremony called out to Netanyahu, “Go home” with a banner they carried. Banners were carried that read “Let’s give 64 and take back the captives in Gaza”, referring to the 64 MPs in the ruling coalition.
Speaking at the memorial ceremony, Maoz Inon, who lost her parents in the attacks on October 7, harshly criticized Netanyahu.
Inon said, “A month has passed. Netanyahu neither called a family to express his condolences nor attended a funeral. Families were torn apart. All the families I talked to know who to blame: Israel’s Prime Minister. I came here to tell Netanyahu to ‘go’.” he said.
Stating that they will set up a condolence tent in front of the Israeli Parliament and that they will not leave until the Netanyahu government resigns, Inon said, “I invite Israelis to come and join us on the path to building a new hope and equality.” said.
In his speech, Yaakov Godo, who lost his son in the Kissufim town around the Gaza Strip, blamed the Israeli government and Prime Minister Netanyahu for what happened on October 7.
No slogans were shouted at the ceremony and mostly calm prevailed, but when Netanyahu’s name was mentioned during the speeches, the crowd reacted by whistling.
