The Knesset has given initial approval to a new bill that would formally establish a national day of remembrance for the events of October 7. The proposed legislation, led by the chair of the Interior and Environmental Protection Committee, aims to create an official authority responsible for commemorating both the victims and the acts of heroism associated with that day. If enacted, the law would designate the 24th of Tishrei as an annual state memorial day, observed two days after the Simchat Torah holiday.
