"I'm the editor of the broadcast.  It's an explosive broadcast, which means that the story is actually that the show ends at 10:00 p.m.  And it's completely coincidental that we're still at the station.  That day, I think there were screenings for the next generation of Army Radio, and I participated as an interviewer in the screening, and then Hadas actually called and said, "Yes, the investigation has become open or something like that, the gag order is issued or it will be removed.  I don't remember if it happened before or if it has already happened.  Come back to the station, and that's it.  I came to the station, we went into Ilil's room.  Because it's a story that Hadas brought, and because we were in the thick of things, and because we were very, very much waiting for the broadcast, we went into Ilil's room and asked her to cancel the 23:00 show.  And allow us to go on the air with what we could say.  And that's it, that's what happened.  I mean, it's really preparation, I don't know, of 20 minutes, like.  No, nothing, that at a certain point we stopped preparing because we realized that it was taking, it had already passed as if it was no longer in our hands.  It had already been transferred to the police.  So it was as if it was already clear that this was a story that would take time, so we were surprised.  I mean, it came as a surprise to us."

(Par.  p.  446, paras.  16-28)

And later on:

"So as I said, it came as a surprise to us because at first we were very enthusiastic and that and then when the material was taken from Hadas and they said a gag order and it went to the police and everything, then it was clear that it was, I don't know how long it would take.  So everyone went about their business.  So we didn't continue to prepare or talk about this or anything like that.  And then it came as a surprise, that is, on the same day that Effi Naveh was arrested, so there wasn't much time to prepare.  I don't even know if Hadas was at the station or came specifically for it quickly, fast or something like that.  So just if OK Razi came in, first of all he had to manage the cancellation of the show half an hour before it aired.  Other people's show, so take care of that thing.  And then they try to look for interviewees.  So I mainly dealt with the producers to put people on the air, that is, and to make sure that Razi would arrive and sit there on the 23rd (11:00 a.m.  - A.S.) .  It's really about sitting down and preparing and that's it, it was all in 20 minutes."
