An organization representing families of the 45 victims of the Meron disaster calls on the government to take the recommendations of the state commission seriously, calling the report a “first step toward justice.”

“It’s insane that we had to wait almost three years to hear what was obvious — those responsible for the success of the pilgrimage, when it succeeded, were also responsible for its failure. A failure that ended with 45 dead and over 100 injured.”

“We now call on the government: Be responsible, take these conclusions and adopt them, take to heart these findings that are written in blood.”
