Football commentator Gili Vermut criticized Channel 14 for its decision not to broadcast the national memorial ceremony for the October 7th events. The ceremony, held at Ganei Yehoshua Park and initiated by the "October 7th Families" and the "Komo" movement, was aired by most Israeli media outlets.
Vermut expressed his dismay on his X account, contrasting the emotional stories of victims and heroism shown on other channels with what he perceived as Channel 14's focus on Prime Minister Netanyahu and national strength. "The cult comes before everything. What are the people there made of?!" he wrote.
Knesset candidate Gadi Izkanot also condemned the channel's actions, calling it "shameful" that the "regime channel" ignored the families' ceremony. He accused the channel of promoting hatred and attempting to rewrite history, which he stated has no place in Israeli society.
