Aviad Glickman, the legal affairs commentator for Channel 13 News, has sharply criticized Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog for his speech at the state memorial ceremony for the October 7th events. Glickman accused Herzog of "cowardice" for failing to explicitly call for a state commission of inquiry into the events.
In a post on his X account, formerly Twitter, Glickman questioned why the President did not use the specific phrase "state commission of inquiry," stating, "I thought there was a limit to his cowardice." This criticism follows similar remarks from Yaron Avraham, a reporter for News 12, who had previously commented on "political correctness distorting" the situation.
This is not the first time Glickman has used social media to voice strong opinions. He recently attacked the government's handling of violence in the West Bank, referring to it as "Jewish terrorism" by "Jewish terrorists" that causes immense international damage. He also sarcastically questioned the silence of right-wing commentators and writers on the issue, suggesting they were trying to normalize such actions by dismissing perpetrators as mere "hilltop youth."
