"We are here, having fun, feeling very good, satisfied with the flight and service," said Samuelov. "We drink some alcohol, have fun and laugh, very happy we got off the ship."

Samuelov and the passengers of the plane admitted to the conversation "To all the media bodies, the Israeli government, the insurance companies that rescued us, the Israeli embassy in Tokyo, Rabbi Benjamin of the Chabad House, Eric Amsalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and everyone who cared about us."

More on:

• Passengers of the Corona ship took off to Israel; At the Sheba hospital they did an exercise before their arrival

• All Israelis were granted permission to disembark from the Corona Ship; The fourth patient: "Small on me"

• Scare scenario: This is how the Corona ship passengers arrive

"From a health point of view, we feel very good," Samuelov continued, "the road here has been good and we are being treated well. We know that we are going into a two-week isolation at Sheba Tel Hashomer Hospital and ready for it, have prepared the rooms for us. "We felt great about you and now we are on our way home, no better than that. A huge thank you to the Sheba Hospital who prepared rooms for us to accommodate us."

Remember, the plane is scheduled to land in Israel tonight after stopping in Georgia for refueling. From there, the passengers will be taken to the Sheba hospital in Tel Hashomer and will remain there for two weeks in isolation. In Japan, four Israelis remained in the blood, including Shimon Dahan, who approved his name. Dahan is currently on the ship and is scheduled to be taken to a Japanese hospital in the morning for further medical treatment.
