The cry of bereaved father Shimon Elkabetz, who lost his daughter Sivan on 10/7 - following Herzi Halevi's visit to the USA

Shimon Elkabetz, a bereaved father who lost his daughter Sivan on October 7, delivers a scathing monologue attacking former Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi over his public appearance in New York, where he received honor and appreciation, while the bereaved families suffer from a lack of accountability for the failure.

Shimon Elkabetz, a presenter on i24NEWS and the father of the late Sivan Elkabetz, who was murdered in the October 7 massacre at Kibbutz Kfar Aza, expresses fury over the first public appearance of former Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi since the end of his tenure, at a conference in New York. Elkabetz attacks the warm reception and honor Halevi received overseas, while the bereaved families in Israel suffer. He asks what medal Halevi is receiving, and compares him to a soccer goalkeeper who conceded 1,200 goals. Elkabetz says Halevi asked for forgiveness from him and his wife in a long conversation, but they did not receive satisfactory answers. He accuses Halevi, along with Yaron Finkel, Oded Basiuk, Aharon Haliva, and Ronen Bar, of arrogance and hubris that led to the worst failure since the Holocaust. Nevertheless, he calls for correction, recognizing that there is no other army or country.
