Over 1,000 bereaved families, hostage families, and October 7 victims signed a letter stating their support for the formation of a National Commission of Inquiry into the events of the October 7 massacre, N12 reported on Tuesday.
The petition has been an ongoing effort by the October Council, an organization of families affected by the massacre, aimed at showing that a majority of the victims were in favor of establishing a National Commission of Inquiry to investigate the events.
“It's time to give answers to the families and citizens of Israel,” the October Council stated on X/Twitter.
The will of the people
“Again and again and again, and consistently, the people speak their mind,” the October Council wrote in a post on X.
“We call on elected officials: Fulfill the will of the people.”
A survey reported by Israel's public broadcaster KAN and conducted by Kantar earlier in December showed that 77% of Israelis expressed support for such a committee to be formed.
