Rubi Chen, father of Staff Sergeant Itai Chen who was brought for burial in Israel last week, said in his speech at the hostages' rally in Tel Aviv that "the October 7 war is a turning point in Israel's history. This is a war that will define what the leading values of the people are going forward. The question is whether we will manage to adopt the values of mutual responsibility and helping others - or will we allow elected officials to focus on honor, power and money at our expense?" According to him, "To those who don't want a state commission of inquiry, I warn you: history will judge you harshly, and your names will be a mark of Cain for generations to come after the public sends you home."
