Hostage survivor Rom Braslavski has demanded an apology from Channel 13 anchor Raviv Drucker over a "shocking" statement made by the journalist. Braslavski stated on his X account that he contacted the chief editor of Channel 13, requesting that a report featuring him not be aired until Drucker apologizes for his words, which deeply hurt the hostage survivor and his family.
In a message to the channel's management, Braslavski wrote, "I do not approve and do not wish for the report we filmed to be broadcast until Raviv Drucker from your channel apologizes for his shocking statement 'I miss seeing your father,' and he attached a video of my father crying. For me, I do not want the report to be broadcast, there is a clause for this in the contract."
Braslavski also informed his social media followers that he had sent a message to the channel's chief editor asking him to condemn Drucker's remark directed at him, which was "I missed seeing your father," accompanied by a video of his father crying at a rally for his release. He expressed that he had not yet received a response and likely would not.
Braslavski announced that a report they filmed together, scheduled to air on Channel 13's main edition in a week, has been canceled by him. He asserted that Drucker's statement would not be ignored and apologized to the Israeli public for preventing them from receiving "words of encouragement and moving things" about the abductions and the October 7th events, but stated he would not cooperate with Channel 13 until an apology is issued.
