Television presenter and media personality Ofira Assayag shared a painful memory on her Instagram account marking three years since the October 7th massacre. Assayag posted a photo from her birthday celebrations in Dubai with friends, revealing the difficult feelings she experienced when they learned of the war's outbreak and the terrible massacre in Israel. In a story she uploaded, Assayag wrote, "Exactly three years ago today, I was celebrating my birthday with friends in Dubai. Then the sirens began, the cries of pain, and the frightening headlines. We looked for a way to return home at any cost, even on the wing of a plane. We will not forget and will not forgive."
Assayag also recently criticized the government in a published video, and subsequently directed her criticism towards Member of Knesset Tali Gottlieb. This was in response to the possibility that Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir intends to appoint Gottlieb to the Ministry of Justice. Assayag bluntly stated, "I understood that you want to appoint Tali Gottlieb, the one who fawned over Netanyahu for three years." She further commented on the complex relationship between Gottlieb and the Prime Minister, and attempts to sideline her, adding, "He gave her a wink, sent her to Australia, and you want to make her Minister of Justice?"
