Official Oct. 7 ceremony to be held in Ofakim, Regev says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTransportation Minister Miri Regev has determined that the state memorial ceremony on the anniversary of the October 7 massacre will be held in the southern city of Ofakim, her office says in a statement.
Responding to reports that a meeting with organizers discussed holding the ceremony in front of an audience and broadcasting it live — in contrast to the original decision — Regev’s office says that today’s meeting was a regular, planned meeting to discuss the event.
“There has been no change in the format of the ceremony for the State of Israel and its citizens,” the office says.
