Families of American October 7 victims call for US congressional inquiry into massacre
During a ceremony, CENTCOM head Adm. Brad Cooper displayed the murdered hostage and dual Israeli-US national Itay Chen's military dog tag, which his father gave him at the funeral.
The families of American victims of Hamas' October 7 massacre are calling for a separate investigation by the United States Congress, three years after the attack. This demand was made during a memorial ceremony at the US State Department, where families of the victims were invited to honor those killed. Ruby Chen, father of Israeli-American soldier Itay Chen, who was among the 46 American citizens murdered, urged Congress to initiate an investigation committee as Israel has not established a state commission of inquiry into the attack's circumstances.
Chen emphasized the need for an examination of the failures that allowed the massacre to happen, arguing that the deaths of Americans on October 7 justify an independent congressional inquiry.
