Sigal Manzuri, mother of Norel and Roya who were murdered at the Nova festival, said in her speech at the protest in Habima Square that "on the morning of Simchat Torah, blood was spilled like water and the earth shook. We were left alone, shocked, in pain and helpless. 779 days have passed since the gates of hell opened upon us - and you our leaders leave us there." According to her, "Our cry disturbs your attempt to erase this cursed date from consciousness. I demand to investigate and expose everything. I demand justice and answers. What led us to October 7? What happened that day and why are we still there? Why is the fear of a state commission of inquiry so great?"
