On Yom Kippur, we are asked to reflect honestly on our actions, to acknowledge where we failed, and to take responsibility.
For the families of October 7, that responsibility cannot remain an abstract idea. They deserve to know what happened, what went wrong, who knew, who warned, and who was responsible.
As Gai’s father says, an independent State Commission of Inquiry is not about revenge. It is about truth, accountability, learning from what happened, and making sure it never happens again.
This Yom Kippur, the government owes the families and the Israeli public the truth, and the courage to face it.
