Head of Fox Fernando Szew said, "The tragic events on October 7th had a profound impact on all of us."

It's important to note that the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, has resulted in the killing of more than 64,000 Palestinians and has left at least 164,000 injured, without counting the many lives lost under the rubble.
Since the start of the war, 425 Palestinians, including 145 children, have died of starvation due to the ongoing famine in the Strip.
The upcoming docuseries sparked backlash among human rights and pro-Palestine activists who described it as a form of "Israeli propaganda" and a way to distract people from what's happening in Gaza and the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
A pro-Palestine social media user wrote, "they should do a show called “every day the rest of the year” about the decades of murder and apartheid and rape and brutalization of palestinians at the hands of israeli settlers."
Another wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), "Can’t wait to see how they depict the Hannibal Directive!"
