President Isaac Herzog spoke at the state memorial ceremony at the Western Wall plaza, saying: 'Our generation bears historic responsibility. This year, perhaps more than ever, the sound of this memorial siren is also a true alarm that commands us: to unite and come together.' Herzog also addressed the hostages, saying: 'An entire nation misses you, worries for you, cries out your cry. An entire nation suffers endlessly. An entire nation knows - in every fiber of its soul, scorched by longing and worry - that the wound won't heal until you return.'
