Screaming relatives of victims of the Hamas attack interrupted a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday during the October 7 commemorations held according to the Hebrew calendar.

Netanyahu sat motionless at a lectern during the ceremony in Jerusalem as audience members in the crowd shouted, interrupting him for more than a minute, according to a live broadcast of the speech.

One of the the protesters he repeatedly shouted, “My father has been killed.”

Public and diplomatic pressure has been brought to bear on the Netanyahu administration to do more to reach an agreement to secure the release captive still held in Gaza in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, as well as cease fire in the war-torn territory, where nearly 43,000 have been killed since October 7 last year.

Israeli spy chief David Barnea is scheduled to head to Doha on Sunday for talks aimed at resuming negotiations to reach a cease-fire agreement in Gaza.

The families of the remaining hostages along with several Western leaders called on the Israeli government to negotiate a deal after his killing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar at the beginning of this month.

Critics in Israel have accused Netanyahu of obstructing the mediation of a ceasefire and hostage release deal in an attempt to cling to power.

Several anti-Netanyahu protests have taken place in Israel since the start of the war, urging him to do more to secure a ceasefire and release the hostages, while others have urged him to resign.

Earlier on Sunday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said military action alone would not achieve the country’s war aims.

“Not all objectives can be achieved through military operations alone… In order to realize our moral duty to bring our hostages home, we will have to make painful concessions,” Gallant said in a separate speech at the commemoration event from last year.
