Ynet Global (Ynetnews), ILTV News, and Israel+ have announced a special virtual event in honor of Memorial Day (Yom HaZikaron) and Independence Day (Yom HaAtzmaut): "Voices of Valor."
Airing across all three platforms at 7 p.m. Monday, the event will pay tribute to the heroes of October 7, the defenders of Israel, and courageous individuals—Jewish and non-Jewish—who have stood up for Zionism and against antisemitism over the past 18 months.
The program will feature emotional tributes, in-depth panel discussions, and exclusive interviews with key figures shaping the future of Israel and the Jewish people. President Isaac Herzog will deliver a special address at the event.
Among our confirmed speakers: Major-General (res.) Doron Almog and chairman of the Jewish Agency; Emily Austin, pro-Israel Jewish activist and influencer; Ambassador Alan Baker of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign and Security Affairs; Minister Nir Barkat, Economy Minister of Israel; Adv. Oz Davidian, a farmer and October 7 hero; Jonathan Davis, vice president of external relations and the head of the Raphael Recanati International School at Reichman University; Dr. Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs; Joseph Gitler, founder and chairman of Leket Israel; Major-General (res.) Yair Golan, former deputy chief of staff of the IDF; Eylon Levy, pro-Israel activist and influencer; Yossi Naim, a farmer from Pri Gan; and many, many more.
"At Ynet Global, we see this moment as a chance to honor them and share their stories with the world," said Sharon Shalmon Esman, CEO of Ynet Global. "Israel has endured immense pain and loss during this war. But alongside the tragedy, we’ve witnessed the emergence of extraordinary heroes."
Tom Zadok, CEO of ILTV News, emphasized the importance of moving beyond the headlines.
“ILTV News is committed to telling Israel’s full story. "Voices of Valor" allows us to spotlight the people—the soul of this nation—who embody its strength, resilience, and hope,” he said. “We’re honored to elevate these voices in a meaningful and powerful way.”

Sharon Lamberger of Israel+, the Israeli Network, echoed that sentiment. He said the event would deeply resonate with global audiences—especially Jews and Christians living abroad who don’t experience daily life in Israel firsthand.
“This isn’t just an event. It’s a bridge between Israel and the world—an emotional journey that reminds us what we’re fighting for and who we are as a people,” Lamberger said. “We expect millions to connect with it.”
The event is being filmed in the state-of-the-art Ynet studios in Rishon LeZion and will feature international guests. The lineup, set to be revealed in the coming weeks, will include political leaders, cultural icons, and social media influencers.
