Nissim Louk, father of Shani Louk who was murdered on October 7 and held hostage in Gaza, confronted Transportation Minister Miri Regev at Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market on Friday morning, shouting that she and the Likud party caused the October 7 massacre and that his daughter was murdered because of them. The confrontation was captured on video by journalist Yair Ansbacher and reported by Yediot Aharonot.
Nissim Louk, whose daughter Shani was murdered by Hamas on October 7 and whose body was recovered from Gaza in May 2024, confronted Transportation Minister Miri Regev at the Mahane Yehuda market in Jerusalem on Friday morning. In a video posted by journalist Yair Ansbacher and reported by Yediot Aharonot, Louk is heard shouting: 'You caused October 7. Shame on you, Likud. My daughter Shani Louk was murdered because of you. 3,000 murdered because of you, keep smiling.' The confrontation comes amid ongoing public anger from bereaved families toward the political leadership over the security failures that enabled the October 7 attack. As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, Louk had already confronted Regev at the same location, accusing Likud of funding Hamas with millions. The new video captures additional accusations.
