Violence at Knesset as families of Oct. 7 victims try to force their way into guest gallery
[IsraelTimes] Members of the October Council — which represents October 7 survivors, former hostages and victims’ families — attempt to force their way past Knesset guards after being blocked from entering the plenum guest gallery.
The incident devolves into a shoving match, with guards pushing and grabbing at protesters at the base of a stairwell leading to the observer’s gallery.
In a statement, the group calls on Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana to intervene “immediately.”
In a statement, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says he approached Ohana at the plenum rostrum and demanded the families be allowed in. He says Ohana replied: “I’m checking.”
The families wanted to scream at the government for failing to magically get all the hostages back by completely surrendering to Hamas in all particulars.
