Remembrance of the Massacre and Commemoration of the Heroism on 22 Tishrei (Simchat Torah) – October 7 Bill, 2026 (P/4043/25, K/1153) (P/4900/25)

What does the bill do?

To this end, a state memorial day is established, and a memorial authority will be set up to commemorate the events and carry out the law's goals. Alongside the authority, a public council will operate, with participants including, among others, representatives of the hostages' families, the bereaved families, survivors of the massacre and the local authorities. A national memorial and remembrance site and a museum will also be established in the western Negev, and information about the events will be preserved and documented in order to make it accessible to the public.
