Vicky Cohen, mother of former hostage Nimrod Cohen, said Thursday at a 101 shift marking the 1,000th day since the October 7 massacre that everything must be done to investigate what happened, and that those responsible must be held accountable, which she said will happen in the next elections. Her remarks were broadcast by N12 News.
Vicky Cohen, mother of Nimrod Cohen — a former hostage who was abducted from Nahal Oz on October 7 and released in a November 2023 deal — spoke Thursday evening at a '101 shift' rally in Tel Aviv marking 1,000 days since the Hamas-led attack. She declared that a full state investigation into the October 7 failures is necessary and that those responsible must no longer hold public office, linking that accountability to the coming elections.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, Nimrod's father Yehuda Cohen staged a dawn protest outside the Prime Minister's residence in Jerusalem calling for a state commission of inquiry. The broader October 7 bereaved families council has for months demanded such a probe, and on Tuesday responded to a High Court ruling on the State Comptroller's authority by stating that 'the truth has been delayed, whitewashed, and waiting' for 1,000 days.
Vicky Cohen's remarks are the latest in a series of family statements on the 1,000-day mark — joining elected officials, bereaved parents, and survivors — as the political debate over a state commission of inquiry continues.
