Due to concerns about strong winds at Mount Herzl on Independence Day eve, the ceremony may not take place and there might be a need to broadcast the dress rehearsal instead. According to internal production discussions, if winds at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem exceed 70 km/h, the ceremony cannot be held, and television stations will broadcast yesterday's dress rehearsal recording. There are several issues with broadcasting the dress rehearsal, with the main one being that not all torch lighters were present at the rehearsal.
