Ministers a No-Show at Yom Kippur War Ceremony – Defense/Security – News – Israel National News.
What a disgrace, the biggest number of cabinet ministers and vice ministers in the history of the Knesset, 39 of them, and out of 39, only one bothered to attend the Memorial services!
2,700 young Israeli soldiers gave their lives for the State of Israel, in the Yom Kippur war, and only 1 Minister attended the ceremony in Jerusalem, and at the other ceremony in Tel Aviv no Ministers showed up at all.
The excuse by some Ministers was a cabinet debate on budget issues,
This is incredibly insulting to the families of the fallen soldiers, and also a sign of how far our morals, respect and care factor has sunk to in this country.
On behalf of Israel, I appologize and share in the grief.
