The October 7 Massacre

Fifty years after Entebbe, Doron Almog revisits war, family, loss, and the profound lessons his son Eran taught him about humanity, dignity, and shared responsibility.

The immediate existential threat to Israel has been removed. For now, Israelis can breathe. But that is true only for this moment, not necessarily for the next one.

Protests marking the milestone were held on Thursday outside the homes of several israeli politicians, including Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana and Education Minister Yoav Kish.

"I promise here that I will make October 7 the mission of my life, and I will never forget," released hostage Rom Braslavski said at the protests at Hostage Square.

The Tekuma Administration, whose mandate ends in 2028, has advanced strategic projects with the aim of furthering long-term growth, the report read.

The government exempted the role from the usual tender process, with other candidates reportedly claiming that the process was predetermined.

The Knesset would first seek to appoint a six-member panel with the support of 80 MKs, though the revisions also allow the commission to operate with as few as three members.

The reality is that being the mother or father of a fallen soldier or hostage does not prove political suitability, nor should it.

Katz noted that the IDF's current military goal in Lebanon was not to return the situation to its previous state, but to "change the reality and bring security to the residents of the North."

The ceremony will be held on the evening of Wednesday, October 7, with the participation of hundreds of bereaved families, hostage survivors, and representatives of affected communities.
