  "account": "On Saturday, thousands gathered at Tel Aviv's Hostage Square to demand a commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre. The October Council, composed of families and friends of victims, organized the protest, with notable opposition leaders Gadi Eisenot, Naftali Bennet, and Avigdor Liberman in attendance. The rally commenced with speeches from affected families and survivors, who expressed their pain and determination to seek the truth.\n\nYossi Marshak and Titi Aynaw opened the event, addressing the bereaved, survivors, and those impacted by the conflict. Marshak emphasized their solidarity with the crowd, while Aynaw mourned the loss of Staff Sergeant Ron Yonatan Roitman and Sergeant Yuval Shai Swilam. She added, \"This evening is called For Them. For Us. For those we lost. For those who returned. For those who fought and are still fighting. And for the country we want to leave for our children.\"\n\nRabbi Elchanan Danino, whose son Ori was abducted and killed by Hamas, rallied for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry. He criticized the government's refusal to pursue the truth, stating, \"Three years and a bit after that bitter and hasty day on which our sons and daughters, our brothers and sisters were abducted, slaughtered, burned, raped, and murdered. And still, the leadership has not made the decision to carry out the most important and essential thing, the pursuit of truth.\"\n\nSurvivor Danielle Aloni, held hostage for 49 days, shared her agony at not being able to protect her daughter. She demanded the commission, stressing that the failure to investigate the massacre affects not only the current generation but also the future of their children. Aloni urged the public to vote in the upcoming elections, emphasizing the importance of influencing the country's future.",
