The Ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth network is set to host a special broadcast on Monday to mark the anniversary of the October 7 massacre, which will be broadcast live with direct English translation in real time on Ynetnews. This extensive coverage will feature live reports from the newsroom studio and various locations nationwide. The broadcast promises engaging discussions and interviews with key figures, focusing on the most pressing topics nearly a year into the ongoing conflict, which shows no signs of ending.
Throughout this somber anniversary, Israel Prize winner Ron Ben-Yishai, who has witnessed all of Israel's wars, will provide a comprehensive summary from Gaza. Analysts Nachum Barnea, Nadav Eyal and Ronen Bergman will delve into pivotal decisions and exclusive revelations in a special panel. Our political reporters, Moran Azulay and Yuval Karni, will interview Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Miri Regev, as well as Opposition Leader Yair Lapid.
Journalist Hen Artzi Sror will have a heartfelt conversation with children who have lost a parent due to the war. Photographer Ziv Koren will showcase moving images, while Avi Issacharoff will discuss the state of Hamas and the post-war landscape. On the ground, we'll meet the year's notable figures from the north advocating for a neglected region and speak with survivors from the Nova massacre, kibbutzim and southern cities about their experiences of horror and recovery. We will highlight the families of reservists bearing the burden and the heroes from the frontlines who were injured.
We will also feature the Kibbutz Alumim cowshed, which suffered damage during the terrorist invasion of the kibbutz but was restored with the help of volunteers and support from Tnuva's "Dairy Farmers Fund," dedicated to rehabilitating dairies in the Gaza envelope since the war's onset. Among the studio guests will be Yossi Shelli, director general of the Prime Minister's Office and head of the Resilience Directorate; southern council heads Yossi Keren, Alon Davidi, and Tamir Idan; Metula Council Head David Azulay; Avi Ben Assayag, CEO of the Osem-Nestlé Group; Haim Taib, president and founder of the Menomadin Foundation; Dr. Yizhar Hess, Brigadier General (Res.) Amir Avivi, acting chairman of the World Zionist Organization, and founder and chairman of the Security Movement.
