Government mulling scrapping Oct. 7 state memorial event as boycott grows — report
The government is considering canceling a planned state memorial ceremony for the anniversary of the October 7 massacre, after several communities near the Gaza border, as well as the Hostage and Missing Families Forum, announced they would boycott the event, Channel 12 news reports.
Many of the communities griped that they had been overlooked by the government since the outbreak of war and that they had failed to restore their confidence after failing to prevent the massacre and abductions.
