Father of Oct. 7 victim says state has ‘unceasing and unforgivable debt’ to investigate failures that led to Hamas-led attack

The father of a victim of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel has accused the state of owing an 'unceasing and unforgivable debt' to investigate the security failures that facilitated the assault. Emphasizing the necessity of accountability, he demanded full transparency regarding the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. This call comes amid mounting public pressure on Israeli authorities to establish an independent commission of inquiry. Families of the victims maintain that the state must accept full responsibility for the lapses in protecting its citizens. Debates continue within Israeli political circles regarding the timing and structure of a formal investigation into the events of that day.
