At a memorial event in Jerusalem marking the October 7 attack anniversary, families interrupted Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech, blaming him for security failures. Protesters, including relatives of those killed, demanded stronger efforts to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas. Shouts of "shame on you" and personal statements like "my father was killed" echoed through the crowd, captured live and shared widely on social media. Many Israelis and Western leaders are pressing Netanyahu’s government to negotiate a hostage release. Israeli intelligence chief David Barnea is set to visit Doha soon to discuss possible agreements.
