The chair of Victims of Hostilities Organization revealed that he was asked to give a speech at a government ceremony because organizers wanted to avoid any disruptions or protests during the event, which will be attended by the Prime Minister and the Opposition Leader.
Surprisingly, no representative of the bereaved families from the October 7th tragedy was asked to speak at the ceremony, sparking controversy and disappointment among the families affected by the tragic event. This lack of representation at the second government ceremony has raised concerns and questions about the sensitivity and recognition given to the victims and their families.
The absence of the bereaved families’ voice at such an important event highlights the need for better communication and inclusion of those directly impacted by tragedies in national ceremonies. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing and honoring the memories of the victims and their families in a respectful and dignified manner.
