The October 7 victim families' council said "the truth has been delayed, whitewashed, and waiting" for 1,000 days, responding to the High Court ruling that the State Comptroller's probe of the massacre was ultra vires, Channel 12's Inbar Tuizer reported.
The October 7 council, representing families of those killed and abducted in the October 7, 2023 massacre, issued a statement Monday evening in response to the High Court of Justice's ruling that the State Comptroller's investigation into the events was conducted without legal authority. The council said the ruling "determines clearly and unequivocally that a state commission of inquiry cannot be replaced. The truth has been delayed, whitewashed, and waiting for 1,000 days." The court's decision, reported by Channel 12's Inbar Tuizer, follows an earlier interim order Monday that halted the comptroller's probe. The council's statement is the first public reaction from a key victim representative body since the ruling.
