Israel-Hamas war latest: Netanyahu interrupted by screaming Oct 7 victims’ families

27 October 2024 Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was heckled by bereaved families as he spoke at a memorial ceremony for the civilian victims of the October 7 massacre today. Netanyahu stood motionless at the lectern as audience members shouted, interrupting his speech for more than a minute during a live broadcast. Relatives of some of the victims cried out “Shame on you!” before being removed from the event. The Israeli Prime Minister has been under pressure over his failure to prevent the attack or to secure the return of the hostages. The memorial marked the Hebrew calendar anniversary of the Hamas attack on October 7 last year, in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 kidnapped. Israel’s top political and security officials attended the event in Jerusalem, laying wreaths and giving speeches.
