Israeli comedian Guy Hochman has criticized the country's handling of the public relations surrounding a recent unusual incident on an airplane, urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to issue a public statement.
Hochman expressed his view on his X account, stating that Israel fails to establish its narrative quickly enough, allowing global attention to focus on the event without an Israeli perspective. He proposed that Netanyahu should address the world, framing the incident as an attempted Islamist terror attack that was thwarted by Israeli resourcefulness and bravery, drawing a parallel to the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
Hochman suggested that the Israeli message should extend beyond the specific event, highlighting it as a potential threat to other nations.

He emphasized the urgency of this action by concluding his statement with the word "Now."
