In a revealing interview this evening with News 12, the young singer Yuval Dayan referred to the storm she caused this week when she did not shake Biden’s hand: “When you shake a person’s hand, you express appreciation for a person. I confessed three times that it expresses exactly that, in front of the most important person in the world, the president was moved Even more than my gesture, no one said anything to me there. I left there feeling great.”
We will recall that the storm surrounding the young and repentant singer began when a video of her performance with Ran Denker, which she performed in honor of the President of the United States Joe Biden in Israel, was published. In which it appears that the president extended his hand to her for a shake at the end of the show and she bowed to him in response.
“Biden told me it was the highlight of his visit”
In the interview, she commented on the reason why she keeps touch: “Keeping touch comes from two places – from a religious place and an emotional place. No one knows what it’s like to be exposed to so many people from the age of 16. My way of keeping myself clean is the protective wall of my values that keep I am focused on the situation. My body is mine.”
Dayan said that after the storm she had to find out if the president was really hurt by her gesture: “I called the ambassador, and he the American laughed at me on the phone, when he laughed I cried. There was nothing wrong there. Biden told me it was the highlight of his visit.”
“It’s violence for everything”
Dayan went on to say that the feeling after this week is really a feeling of boycott: “Those who chose to generate the hard energy are keyboard criminals, this is violence in every way. The next time I approach a child who has been shamed online, I will be able to understand him because I have been through it.”
