The Israel Business Forum, which represents most workers in the private sector in Israel from 200 of the country’s largest companies, says employees will be permitted to go to work late on Wednesday, in order to participate in the funeral procession route of slain hostages Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel Bibas, and show their support along the way.
“There is no consolation we can provide for dear Yarden and the members of the Bibas-Silberman family in the face of the horrific act, but we feel it is important to encourage the public to pay their last respects to the brutally murdered by Hamas,” the business forum says in a statement. “May their memory be a blessing.”
