Israel marks the thousandth day since the Hamas attack with nationwide memorials and renewed calls for a state commission of inquiry that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government refuses.The assault killed 1,221 Israelis and took about 251 hostages; Gaza’s health ministry, run by Hamas, reports more than 73,000 Palestinian deaths, figures Israel disputes and that have shaped international debate.Protesters gathered at the
Knesset and outside ministers’ homes, renamed public spaces to memory sites, clashed with police, and critics including
Avigdor Lieberman,
Eyal Zamir and
Gadi Eizenkot demand accountability as the government resists an independent commission.
