Entertainer and network host Guy Hochman often documents himself at demonstrations, concerts, football matches and various political conferences, while interviewing the participants and eliciting from them good words in his unique way. Hochman, who was not afraid of entering the lion’s den in the stands of Beitar Jerusalem, chose to put his life in his hand and come to the World Cup in Doha, Qatar. Following the video of him in uniform that was distributed online by an Arab journalist, Hochman decided to return to Israel.
In an interview with News 12, Abia Hochman, Guy’s wife, told when the signals that he should return began. “When the foreign media gets involved, when I see Instagram accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers, they start spreading Guy’s videos and his work, there I understand that it goes too far, spreading lies it becomes a snowball we have no control over and that’s where it starts to get scary,” she said her father
He didn’t fly to Syria, he flew to a country that has every right to be in the World Cup
She further added that “Guy did not go to Syria and wave the Israeli flag, he flew to a country that we have the full right to be in during the World Cup. And he is not ashamed of who he is. As a Jewish and Israeli person, we are here to stay, we were there in a place where we are ashamed and afraid and he is not Doing it”.
Her father was asked if he was exaggerating too much. “I don’t agree. The video of Guy making peace with the Iranians shows a completely different reality, and shows the love we receive. You can say anything about him, he is the most responsible father in the world and I had no doubt that the most important thing to him is to return to Rom’s arms. As soon as we really saw that something was starting to emerge Out of control, Guy took himself and returned to Israel,” said the comedian’s wife.
