October 7 remembrance Godo interrupts Netanyahu

Oct 5

Goodman reports nearly 1,200 deaths and 251 hostages in the October 7, 2023 attack, the Nova-site third-anniversary silence near Reim with nearby Gaza strikes audible, and the preceding Jerusalem state memorial. Netanyahu does not address reported ignored warnings; bereaved father Yaakov Godo interrupts him and accuses him of failing to protect his son Tom and the victims.

Israel observes its state memorial day for those killed on October 7, three years after the attack. Kan reports ceremonies nationwide, a minute's silence and Zamir's investigation pledge, Herzog's remarks about disregarded lookout warnings, bereaved relatives interrupting Netanyahu at Mount Herzl and shouts during Justice Isaac Amit's wreath laying. The ceremony occurred October 5; the civil anniversary and planned Kumu ceremony are October 7. Democracy Now's October 7 retrospective identifies the interrupting bereaved father as Yaakov Godo, father of Tom, and airs his accusation that Netanyahu failed to protect his son and the 1,200 killed. The identical interruption establishes the same October 5 state memorial, rather than the separately reported October 7 Nova silence.
