Labor Party Chairman Avi Gabbay has attacked the absence of cabinet representatives from the memorial ceremony on Mount Herzl for the fallen of the Yom Kippur War, calling it "a disgrace".
Writing on Facebook, Gabbay added, "Each of the war casualties has parents, brothers, Comrades in arms, some of whom were there today, carrying a heavy sack of pain on their backs from that terrible war - and not minister thinks it is important enough to come and look them in the eyes."
