Gadi Eisenkot, a candidate for prime minister, has strongly criticized Channel 14 for its decision not to broadcast the national memorial ceremony commemorating the October 7th attacks. The ceremony, organized by families of the victims and the "Komo" movement, took place at Ganei Yehoshua and was aired by most Israeli media outlets. Eisenkot, who attended the event, expressed his outrage in a social media post, calling Channel 14 the "regime channel." He accused the station of "shamefully ignoring" the families' ceremony and continuing its broadcast in line with the ruling party's narrative, which he claims promotes hatred and attempts to rewrite history while hurting the nation's pain. Eisenkot vowed that a future government led by him would rectify the "culture of lies" fostered by Prime Minister Netanyahu, honor the fallen, establish a state commission of inquiry, and ensure the memorial for the "worst disaster in Israel's history" becomes a government-funded national event. He pledged to provide Israel with "true, brave, and responsible leadership" that would not allow the events of October 7th to be forgotten.
