Today we remember the atrocities of October 7th, 2023, carried out by Hamas against Israeli citizens and foreign nationals, when more than 1,100 people were brutally killed and another 240 taken hostage. This has escalated into a cycle of violence that continues to destroy lives a year onwards.
We remember not just these lives taken, but also those whose lives were torn apart by what unfolded one year ago today.
We mourn their deaths and condemn all acts of violence. We stand with the families of the victims of this horrific violence and continue to support organisations working to break the cycle of violence and achieve peace in the region.
May their memory be a blessing.
(Agreed by a majority of JG officers)
