Israeli Journalist Apologizes for Incorrect Report on Cabinet Meeting: "This Is What Led to the Mistake"

A small behind-the-scenes drama at the Government Secretariat ended overnight with a clarification and an apology. KAN News journalist Shahar Glick issued an official apology after publishing an incorrect report earlier in the evening, saying that the government meeting scheduled for tomorrow had been canceled. "The government meeting for tomorrow was not canceled. My apologies for the mistake," Glick wrote on his X account, and explained the chain of events that led to the journalistic error: "It was a game of telephone and a misunderstanding. Apparently, sometimes even two independent sources are not enough."

Government Secretariat to ministers: "Good night, it is taking place as planned"

Glick's denial came after his original report caused a minor stir and raised questions in ministers' offices. Following the publication, the Government Secretariat quickly issued an urgent clarification to all cabinet members to prevent confusion in the late hours of the night. The official message sent to the ministers stated: "Good night, tomorrow's government meeting is taking place as planned. The reports that were published are not correct."

Following the Secretariat's message and the reporter's apology, the ministers' schedules for tomorrow remained unchanged.
