Shirel Hogeg, an Ofakim resident whose sister and family were severely injured on October 7, said at a protest in Tel Aviv's Habima Square: 'Leadership that failed to protect our children from our enemies, that stood idle on October 7, is incapable of leading.' He added, 'Those who allowed hatred to tear a nation apart cannot heal it. Those who chose politics and forgot the hostages have lost their Jewish morals and values. Those who discriminate between children's blood and homeland defense duties will not know how to give the command.'
