Thousands of Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, November 2, three days before the Israeli parliamentary elections on October 27, against Benjamin Netanyahu, the country's prime minister, and demanded the establishment of an independent committee to investigate the security and political failures related to the October 7 attack. This rally was held in the Hostages' Square at the initiative of the "October Council" civic group. The families of the victims, former hostages who were released from Gaza and their relatives were present along with thousands of other demonstrators and demanded the clarification of the truth and the responsibility of the responsible authorities. Gadi Eisenkot, Yair Lapid, Avigdor Lieberman and Yair Golan, the opposition leaders of the Netanyahu government, also participated in this demonstration. With the slogan "After three years of struggle, we will start rebuilding", the demonstrators emphasized the need for an independent investigation of the events of October 7. Yair Golan announced in his speech: "Starting next Wednesday, we will try to establish a government investigation committee; "a committee that will discover the truth and bring justice to the families". Benjamin Netanyahu has so far resisted the request to establish an independent government committee to investigate the failures related to the October 7 attack. However, the organizers of the rally emphasized that the protest is of a civil nature and is not organized to support any party or electoral list. According to the report of Israel Channel 12, before the demonstration, the Likud party asked the Central Election Committee to ban the broadcast of the rally on television, and they saw this as an example of election propaganda. Noam Solberg, head of the committee, rejected the Likud party's request for lack of sufficient documentation. Before the rally, the October Council also warned the Israel Police Chief in a letter about the possibility of trying to disrupt the demonstration and demanded security measures to prevent disruption.
