Journalist Avi Shoshan, formerly the spokesperson for Ichilov Hospital and a podcast host, is currently participating in the new season of "Survivor" on Channel 13. He has already generated controversy with a promo statement claiming he was "the first to pay the price for October 7th," which drew significant backlash. Shoshan, who was dismissed from his Ichilov Hospital role following a press conference by released hostage Yocheved Lifshitz, is now poised to stir further controversy. In a promo for an upcoming "Survivor" episode, Shoshan stated, "A person, damn it, was fired and it's written in his termination letter 'Yocheved Lifshitz.' Our lives intersected at that point in time." He added, "She didn't call me. I wanted this hostage to call me and say, 'Avi, I apologize, I understand your pain, this thing didn't happen to you.'"
In a pre-show interview with Walla! Celebs, Shoshan clarified his earlier controversial remarks, explaining he meant a "professional price." He asserted, "I am the first to be fired, to pay with my position. Before everyone else, I was the one who was fired." Shoshan acknowledged that while his personal struggles were difficult, he maintained perspective by considering the experiences of hostages, soldiers, and their families. "But the fact is, I was the first to pay with my position. It's not a comparison to what others experienced, but it's the reality, it's my story. My story is intertwined with October 7th," he stated.
