Hamas massacre victims' families release 'October 7 Files' in push for government accountability
"How is it possible that the greatest disaster in the State of Israel has not been investigated?" Shelly Mashal Yogev, mother of Libby Cohen Meguri, who was killed at the Nova music festival, said.
The families of victims from the October 7 Hamas massacre have released the October 7 Files, a collection of documents detailing the tragic events leading up to and including the disaster. Mother of Libby Cohen Meguri, Shelly Mashal Yogev, accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being responsible for the tragedy, citing his policy of weakening Hamas and weakening Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Yogev demanded Netanyahu's explanation for not assassinating Yahya Sinwar, the former Hamas leader. Another victim's mother, Einav Zangauker, questioned why billions of funds were transferred to Hamas despite knowing Hamas controlled the area. Natalia Casarotti, a parent of another victim, called for an investigation of all government officials, including the prime minister, defense minister, IDF chief of staff, and others.
Professor Ephraim Shoham criticized Netanyahu for not destroying Hamas, noting that his government facilitated the transfer of funds to Hamas and shielded its leaders. Noam Peri claimed that Netanyahu refused a proposal to bring back the kidnapped hostages. Lishay Miran, whose husband was abducted, stated that the October 7 Files reveal how the government allowed the disaster to happen.
Gil Dickmann, a cousin of a killed hostage, vowed to prevent the next massacre. Meirav Svirsky accused the government of ignoring warnings about the danger, while Michel Iluz invited government ministers to come to his son's grave to demand answers. Overall, the families are demanding accountability and a thorough investigation into the events of October 7.
