Bereaved & Hostage Families Unveil 'Case 7/10' Dossier Accusing Netanyahu of Enabling the Massacre

Families of October 7 victims and former hostages held a Tel Aviv press conference on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 to release a 12-page dossier titled 'Case 7/10' (also circulated as the 'October 7 Files'), compiling publicly available information on 15 years of Israeli government policy and intelligence decisions they say enabled Hamas to carry out the attack. The document alleges Netanyahu permitted Qatari funding to flow into Gaza and rejected a reported recommendation from then-Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar to kill Hamas mastermind Yahya Sinwar about a week before October 7. Noam Peri, whose father Chaim Peri died in Hamas captivity, cited the recent Haaretz report of a UAE warning to Netanyahu as further evidence 'he didn't want to listen.' Gil Dickmann, cousin of slain hostage Carmel Gat, said the dossier was a record for 'future hostages.' A bereaved mother said at the podium, 'If only you had listened to him, Libby would be here beside me.' The families jointly renewed their demand that Netanyahu immediately establish a state commission of inquiry or step aside, with the release timed six weeks before the October 27, 2026 election.
