Inbar Chen Meiri: Stop hugging us at ceremonies and then abandoning us to bureaucracy

Inbar Chen Meiri, acting CEO of the Organization of Victims of Hostile Acts, calls on the next government to stop abandoning terror victims to bureaucracy after tribute ceremonies.

Inbar Chen Meiri, acting CEO of the Organization of Victims of Hostile Acts, calls on the next government to stop abandoning terror victims and bereaved families to bureaucracy after tribute ceremonies. She notes that on November 27, a day of tribute will be held for wounded IDF soldiers and victims of hostile acts, but the real test is what happens after the ceremony. Three years after October 7, the rehabilitation system still does not provide an adequate response, and recognition procedures are lengthy and fragmented. According to her, over 100,000 people have been recognized as victims of hostile acts, and the organization's membership has grown from 3,400 before October 7 to 23,000 today. She demands a unified service center, equal rights compared to IDF disabled, a dedicated budget for the organization, and clear commitments in the next government's guidelines.
