Yakov Buzaglo, father of former footballer Ohad Buzaglo, has publicly defended his son's decision to voluntarily admit himself to the Abarbanel Medical Center, stating he is proud of his son's honesty. Ohad Buzaglo had recently revealed his hospitalization, which his father described as a "very important message" not to hide life's difficulties.

In a Facebook post, Yakov Buzaglo addressed criticism and mockery directed at his son, urging people to look at themselves before judging. "I am not ashamed. On the contrary. I am proud. Proud of my family and will continue to be proud of it, in good times and bad," he wrote.

He reminded readers that all families face hardships and that his family, while not perfect, is united and supportive.

He concluded by asserting that Ohad knows his family will always stand behind him, especially during difficult times when others might try to exploit his pain for ridicule. Yakov Buzaglo stressed that life is complex, with both joy and crisis, and no one is immune to challenges.
