The Knesset restored the word massacre to the October 7 memorial bill following objections from bereaved families. The families had accused the government of attempting to whitewash failures and rewrite the narrative after officials announced in February that the term had been removed.
A memorial ceremony at the Nova festival site marked two years since the October 7 events, when Hamas terrorists infiltrated southern Israel and killed more than 1,200 people.
The legislation now proceeds with the restored wording.
