Singer and songwriter Aviv Geffen fiercely criticized Channel 14 for its decision not to broadcast the national memorial ceremony for the October 7th events. Geffen posted an angry Instagram story questioning the channel's motives, asking, "Who did you take revenge on yesterday when you didn't broadcast the ceremony? On the murdered children? Bereaved parents? Rape victims? Shame on you."
The memorial ceremony, held on Wednesday, marked the anniversary of the dramatic events of October 7th, which deeply impacted Israeli society. The national memorial event was initiated by the families of October 7th victims and the "Komo" movement and was broadcast by most Israeli media outlets, except for Channel 14.
Instead of the memorial, Channel 14 aired its program "HaPatriotim." This decision drew further criticism from TV and radio host Eyal Berkovich, who alluded to his radio co-host Yinon Magal, referring to him as "Shufri" and posting "Shufri, may you dry up."
Gadi Eisenkot, a candidate for prime minister and chairman of the Yisrael party, also condemned Channel 14's actions, labeling it the "regime channel." He stated that the channel's "shameful disregard" for the memorial ceremony, continuing its usual broadcast in the spirit of the ruling party, was an "unfortunate attempt to rewrite history while hurting the pain of an entire nation." Eisenkot added that such behavior has no place in Israeli society.
