Michel the hostage, the father of the hostage, who was abducted alive and murdered in captivity, was assaulted on Thursday in Tel Aviv's Hatikva Market during a visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Following the attack, the hostage stated, "While I came to protest against the Prime Minister for abandoning my Guychik, my firstborn son, to die in captivity, shameless citizens without moral conscience resorted to violence against me." He added, "It is a disgrace that a bereaved father, whose son was murdered in captivity, is beaten by citizens. I call on all citizens of Israel to remember Guychik at the ballot box. The time has come for a correction."
