The October Council, a protest group formed after October 7, 2023, has declared a 'Day of a Thousand' — a national civil memorial to be held next week, according to the group's announcement on N12. The day will include a nationwide moment of silence at 10:00 AM, protests and testimonies across the country, and a central rally at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv.
The October Council, a grassroots protest organization formed in the wake of the October 7, 2023 massacre, today declared a 'Day of a Thousand' — a national civil memorial marking 1,000 days since the attack. According to the announcement as reported on N12, the event will take place next week and will include a nationwide moment of silence at 10:00 AM, protests and survivor testimonies in cities across Israel, and a central rally at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv.
As The Zioneer previously reported, the council had earlier declared a protest day for July 2 to mark 1,000 days of war, and has been a leading voice in the civil protest movement since October 7. The new 'Day of a Thousand' formalizes what was previously a protest into a structured memorial day, expanding the scope beyond a single rally.
No official government recognition or coordination with the state ceremony has been announced. The council has stated the day is meant as a civil alternative to official state memorials.
