Singer Aviv Geffen publicly criticized Channel 14 for its decision not to broadcast the national memorial ceremony for the victims of the October 7 massacre. While other television channels aired the event live on Wednesday evening, Channel 14 opted to broadcast its program "HaPatriotim" instead. Geffen expressed his outrage on Thursday via an Instagram story, directly addressing the channel. "Channel 14, who did you take revenge on yesterday when you didn't broadcast the ceremony? The murdered children? Bereaved parents? Rape victims? Shame on you," he wrote, using strong language. The national memorial ceremony, held at Ganei Yehoshua Park in Tel Aviv, was attended by approximately 50,000 people. This event, organized by the "Camo" movement and families of October 7 victims, survivors, and bereaved families, marked the third annual commemoration. The ceremony began with a moment of silence.
