Israeli President Isaac Herzog has apologized to the kin of the victims of the Hamas bloodbath on October 7 final yr on behalf of the Israeli state.
“I’m standing right here as president of the State of Israel and apologizing,” Herzog mentioned throughout a ceremony in Jerusalem on Sunday.
Not like Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not but apologized.
He has admitted errors by the safety equipment, however Netanyahu needs an investigation solely after the Gaza warfare has ended.
Herzog was clear: “Sorry we didn’t defend your family members, sorry we breached essentially the most primary and dedicated contract between a rustic and its residents to defend their lives and security,” Herzog mentioned.
Hamas terrorists and different militants from the Gaza Strip killed 1,200 individuals and kidnapped 250 individuals within the shock assault on Israel greater than a yr in the past. Warnings about the potential of such a wide-scale assault had been apparently ignored.
