Only four days after the Minister of Transportation and who is responsible for the torch lighting ceremony, Miri Regev, informed Emir Ohana that she wishes to shorten the Knesset Speaker’s speeches at the ceremony this year and was met with a sharp threat from him, today (Monday) it was learned that the blunder was resolved and Ona will indeed deliver only one speech. which will not last more than five minutes.

It is currently unknown what caused the speaker to voluntarily withdraw, when the conversation between the two on Thursday ended in harsh tones. As I recall, the Knesset speaker announced that if this was the case – he would not come to the ceremony, nor would the Knesset guard, and told Regev: “This is a disgrace, Won’t happen” and hung up.
On the evening of the news from Minister Regev’s office it was stated: “In light of the events of October 7 and the change in the format of the beacon ceremony intended to allow the expansion of the memorial chapter and in order to give a broad expression to the heroes of Israel who were chosen to raise a beacon, the Speaker of the Knesset was asked to combine two speeches, the speech class and the class The fire into one speech. To the extent that the Knesset Speaker instructed the Knesset guard to boycott the ceremony, this is a violation of the statehood of the ceremony and a violation of its authority.” As mentioned, it is not clear what happened on the way between that belligerent atmosphere between the two, and Ohana’s folding after only four days.
