The Prime Minister's Office informed the organizers of the state memorial ceremony in memory of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin that there was no need to reserve a place for Prime Minister Netanyahu. Today (Wednesday), the Bureau announced that the person representing the government will be Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology Ofir Akunis.

During his tenure as opposition leader in the Bennett-Lapid government, Netanyahu was absent from the ceremony. Netanyahu did not attend last year either, but the ceremony took place at a time when he had not yet been sworn in as prime minister, so it will now be the first time Netanyahu will not participate in the ceremony as prime minister. In the past, Netanyahu criticized the organizers of the ceremony, claiming that over the years the ceremony had become "a platform for political wrangling."
