"I told the wife of a hostage that I bear responsibility," Margi recounted, describing the sense of public and moral duty weighing on the country's leadership in the wake of the October 7th catastrophe.
He addressed the future of Israel's public and political systems in the day after the war, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive reckoning across all branches of government.
