WATCH: Controversial official state ceremony for October 7 begins
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe night’s second major ceremony is now beginning — this time the official state ceremony for October 7 events, featuring a speech by the prime minister and other officials.
The ceremony was pre-recorded, reportedly to prevent any heckling or deviations from the script, with the government under heavy criticism for the events of that day and its handling of the war since.
At the Bereaved Families Ceremony, there was much finger-pointing at the government, calls for leaders to accept responsibility and accusations Israel’s south was abandoned on the dark day of the Hamas attacks.
Little of that is likely to be on display at the state event.
