After sparking a storm when he wrote in a post (which has since been deleted) that he and his wife Sapir wish to embrace four-year-old Abigail Idan, who lost her parents who were murdered in the Hamas massacre and returned from captivity last night, Lior Narkis also received support late at night from celebrities who sought to calm the heated tempers a bit and asked to show mercy to the singer and his wife.

"This people don't understand clues. Did we say?!" wrote Natalie Dadon in a story she shared with her hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers late at night. "What does this baseless hate festival have to do with human goodwill? Expressed will, did not start a forced process. Abigail is home, moments of happiness, and what is everyone up to?! And how all the wise men jump out of the holes to attack, as if we've run out of trouble. Do you feel broken? Ignore it. Did he make you laugh? Laugh. How easily the evil inclination lights up for us and all the unfounded hatred pours out of us. Let this night be a night of light," she requested.

Another person who sought to defend Narcissus was Adi Buzaglo, who also shared her opinion on the circus that formed within minutes of the singer's post with her hundreds of thousands of followers on her story. "It's not clear to me what this evil is online. Good people who never stop helping and praising wanted to do a good deed and adopt a girl. Even if they made a mistake by posting, it sure was done in good faith and tended from a good place. Why end up with bad reactions? Why not look at their overwhelming desire? Why not judge them on merit?" asked Buzaglo to calm things down. "If there's nothing good to write, you don't have to. We can move forward.

"Stop the hatred, stop the evil. Stop spreading poison and insulting people." Buzaglo ended with reinforcing words addressed directly to Lior and Sapir, whom she also tagged: "Lior and Sapir, you are amazing. If you were duplicated, we would be a more beautiful country. You are good people."
Narcissus responded to the uproar created by the post, saying: "The intention was pure and true. I wrote what the entire nation of Israel feels. There is not a person in Israel who is not willing to do everything for Abigail and all the other abductees. We will be happy to accompany the family in anything they need. We pray for the release of all the abductees."
