The ceremony will take place, as it does every year, at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. In keeping with tradition, it will be attended by national leaders and public figures, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana.

This year’s ceremony will be hosted by singer-songwriter Rotem Cohen and actress and television personality Mally Levy.

Among those chosen to light torches are Argentine President Javier Milei, IDF soldier Ari Spitz, who was severely wounded in Gaza, Coordinator for Hostages and Missing Persons Gal Hirsch, and Talik Guaily, mother of the late Ran Guaily.
