Two fathers of soldiers killed on October 7 — Eyal Ashel and Liad Baram — interrupted retired Major General Yaakov Amidror's speech at a security conference Tuesday morning, calling on him to leave the stage. "This is my daughter, and she is no longer here because of your son," Ashel told Amidror, according to journalist Nir Dvori (N12).
Eyal Ashel, father of observer Roni Ashel who fell at the Nahal Oz outpost on October 7, and Liad Baram, father of Staff Sgt. Neta Baram who fell in battle that day, interrupted retired Major General Yaakov Amidror's speech at a security conference Tuesday morning. According to journalist Nir Dvori (N12), the bereaved fathers demanded Amidror leave the stage — telling him, "This is my daughter, and she is no longer here because of your son." Amidror, a former head of the National Security Council, served as national security adviser and has been a prominent voice in security discourse since the war. The confrontation escalated from an earlier exchange at the same conference, as The Zioneer reported at 12:19: Amidror had previously told Ashel, "You should be ashamed." The episode reflects the raw grief and anger many bereaved families continue to direct at senior security figures over the failures of October 7. No further details on the aftermath or security response are yet available.
