Families of hostages, former captives, and survivors of the October seventh attack have joined together to demand that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu order a state inquiry into the events surrounding the assault. The call is supported by former hostages such as Yarden Bibas, Arbel Yehud, Ariel and Sharon Cunio, Louis Har, Gadi Mozes, Amit Soussana, and Ohad Ben Ami. The initiative also has the backing of the October Council, a forum representing over 1,500 bereaved families, hostage families, and survivors. Their collective demand seeks accountability and answers regarding the government's actions before, during, and after the attack.
