Israeli Mourners Mark One Month Since Oct. 7 Hamas Attack; Grieving Mom Slams Netanyahu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outside the Knesset in Jerusalem, mourners gathered Tuesday night to
mark one month since Hamas's attack in Israel, which killed 1,400
people. Mourners called for the release of some 240 hostages still being
held. This is Hannah Katsman, whose son Hayim was killed by Hamas on
October 7.

Hannah Katsman: "My son Hayim was killed on October 7th, was murdered by
Hamas terrorists on his kibbutz in Holit. I'm here - before October 7th,
I came to demonstrations against the government, and I still feel that
the government is not representing my interests, and I'm very concerned
about many of their action. … I want - I'd like Netanyahu to take
responsibility for this. I'd like him to tell us how he's going to
prevent this from happening. I'd like him not to blame everyone but
himself. He's supposed to be in charge of security. How could this have
happened?"

student at the University of Washington.
