A member of the Knesset from the Jewish Power party sharply criticized the marking of 1,000 days since the October 7th attack. He argued that those protesting against the government are responsible for the tragedy, claiming they created a vulnerability through their refusal to serve. The MP stated that the left-wing is using the day for political purposes and that Israelis do not need reminders of the events, as they are constantly reliving the trauma. He directly attributed the “disaster” to the demonstrators’ prior actions. This statement has ignited further political tensions surrounding the commemoration and the ongoing debate regarding responsibility for the attack. The criticism reflects a deepening divide within Israeli society regarding how to remember and respond to the events of October 7th.
