The October Council, which unites survivors of captivity, bereaved families and survivors of the October 7 massacre, responded to the Likud party's demand that news channels not broadcast the rally live on Saturday night. "Netanyahu is once again trying to silence the bereaved families. Roni Eshel, Noral and Roya Manzouri, Ido Adri, Neta Baram, Uri Danino and 2,200 murdered victims are election propaganda? The prime minister doesn't want Israelis to hear the stories of the survivors of captivity, of the murdered and fallen, of the Gaza border communities and the north. He doesn't want Israelis to hear, alongside the pain, also a message of hope for establishing a state commission of inquiry that he has been evading to this day," the families said.
