- Caspit previously called Prime Minister Netanyahu a "coward."
Journalist and media presenter Ben Caspit launched a sharp attack on Channel 14 via his X account, criticizing the station for its absence from the list of media outlets scheduled to broadcast the national memorial ceremony for the October 7th events. Caspit expressed his deep distress over the channel's programming, accusing them of wanting people to forget that a massacre occurred. He stated, "I encountered the list of channels that will broadcast the national memorial ceremony on 7.10. An endless list missing only Channel 14. The channel that wants us to forget that there was even a massacre. They have completely detached themselves from the people."
Caspit's strong criticism comes as all major Israeli television channels, radio stations, and media organizations are set to unite for a live broadcast of the national remembrance events and ceremonies marking the anniversary of the massacre. Channel 14's conspicuous omission from this unified broadcast sparked the senior journalist's anger.
The article also recalls Caspit's earlier remarks during his program with Yinon Magal on Radio 103FM. In that context, Caspit addressed a proposal by Gadi Eisenkot and the response from Netanyahu's circle, asserting that the Prime Minister had no valid reason to evade a debate. Caspit argued, "I don't think Netanyahu could have said 'it's not my area,' Netanyahu is Mr. Television, he is much more verbose than Eisenkot." He then directly addressed the Prime Minister with a pointed call: "I appeal to my cowardly honor, go to the confrontation!"
