MK Ram Ben Barak (Yesh Atid) said Thursday that no Israeli was left unchanged by the October 7, 2023, massacre, and urged both the military and political echelons to draw the necessary conclusions — marking 1,000 days since the Hamas-led attack. His remarks aired on Channel 14's "HaZira HaMerkazit" program.
MK Ram Ben Barak (Yesh Atid), a former deputy head of the Mossad, stated during an interview on Channel 14's evening program "HaZira HaMerkazit" that the October 7, 2023 massacre changed every Israeli. "I don't think there is a single Israeli in whom something hasn't changed on October 7," he said, marking the 1,000th day since the attack. Ben Barak added that "the army needed to draw a great many conclusions, and the political echelon needs to change its conduct and its thinking." His remarks add a centrist political voice to a day of tributes and assessments across the political spectrum. As The Zioneer has reported throughout the day, other figures — including Reserve Brig. Gen. Danny Van Buren, journalist Amit Segal, and former hostage Nili Margalit — have offered their own assessments of the lessons and failures of the past 1,000 days.
