Netanyahu's Likud Party Accuses Channel 12 of 'False Propaganda' on October 7

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party denounced Channel 12's October 7 anniversary coverage as "false political propaganda."

Likud defended Netanyahu's leadership and accused the network of attempting to influence upcoming elections. The statement follows previous reports detailing communication delays and lack of preparedness within the security establishment on the day of the attack.

Gaza Residents Mark Third Anniversary of October 7th Amidst Devastation

On the third anniversary of the October 7th events, Gaza residents are enduring immense hardship, with three years of conflict destroying infrastructure and shifting focus to survival. Citizens express anger at Israel for collective punishment, criticize Hamas for the high cost of escalation and poor management, and feel abandoned by the Palestinian Authority's perceived ineffectiveness. The dominant demand is for an immediate end to the war, lifting the siege, and reconstruction.
