Thousands gathered in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to demand the return of the bodies of 11 deceased hostages still held in Gaza and to call for a state commission of inquiry into the failures surrounding the October 7, 2023, attack. Freed hostages and bereaved families spoke at Hostages Square, urging that no further steps be taken in the ceasefire agreement until all hostages, living and deceased, are returned. Protesters outside the prime minister's residence in Jerusalem, led by the October Council, insisted on immediate accountability and transparency regarding the government's handling of the attack and its aftermath. Organizers vowed to escalate demonstrations nationwide until a formal inquiry is established, reflecting widespread public frustration and a demand for answers from the government.
