  • Karin Gideon criticized 'Patriots' panelist Avi Shoshan over a past hospital dispute.
  • Gideon blamed Shoshan for Ichilov Hospital's harsh response to her 2021 maternity room complaint.
  • Shoshan was fired from his Ichilov Hospital spokesperson role after October 7th.
  • Shoshan had previously apologized to Gideon for his past remarks.
  • Ichilov Hospital had strongly refuted Gideon's claims about her room in 2021.

Content creator Karin Gideon has publicly criticized Avi Shoshan, a panelist on the show 'The Patriots,' who previously served as the spokesperson for Ichilov Hospital. Gideon's remarks stem from Shoshan's recent participation in a reality show, where he revealed he was fired from his Ichilov Hospital spokesperson role after October 7th. Gideon referenced a past conflict with the hospital during the birth of her first child, stating, "It's a shame you weren't fired before I gave birth. This is the person responsible for Ichilov coming at me with two hundred in the window affair." She added, "My bet, he's the villain of the season."

Gideon shared a WhatsApp conversation from approximately two years ago where Shoshan had invited her to his podcast, expressing regret for a past response and wishing to discuss it personally. Gideon captioned this, "Thanks for the apology."

In 2021, Gideon gave birth to her daughter Alona and publicly complained about her room at Ichilov Hospital, describing it as "appalling" and lacking a window. Shortly after, the hospital responded sharply, posting a picture of what they claimed was her luxurious private room and stating that her description was a "threatening and degrading post" directed at the nursing staff. Professor Yariv Yogev, on behalf of the hospital, wrote that the conditions were among the best in public healthcare and that Gideon's comments reflected more on her than on the hospital.
