King's speech: "Exposure" did not provide answers nor did it seek them

Haim Etgar admired the "exposure" of Naum Cohen's wealth, but his suspicion did not lead him to explore what really matters.

The product we received was leaky and out of date, and Etgar missed the opportunity to shed more light on the dubious deal between Betar Jerusalem and Ben Khalifa.

Betar Jerusalem owner Moshe celebrates watching Betar Jerusalem game with Sheikh Hemed bin Khalifa (Betar Jerusalem spokeswoman)

The trailer for Haim Etgar's "exposure" that was broadcast yesterday on Keshet, centered on businessman Naum Nachshon Cohen Nachshonov, we received a week and a half ago in an article by Danny Kushmero with Moshe Hogg on the same channel.

"Here, the sheikh has transferred money to me," he then declared celebrating, while Kushmero's eyes remained suspicious.

A month after the signing of the historic partnership agreement in Dubai, the occult still prevails over the visible.

No one knows whether Betar Jerusalem does in part belong to Hemed bin Khalifa. Or will it ever belong and how much money has been transferred or will be transferred to the club. The question marks continue to hover, and are proudly displayed on the Football Association's rights transfer committee.

Beginning December 2020 Today seems almost as far as the distance between Ben Khalifa and the honesty certificate the association asks him to invent. Yesterday Haim Etgar took us back there, to the point where it all apparently began. Apparently "exposure" renewed more for those unfamiliar with the story and less for anyone who has already swallowed the spoils. The news about the dubious deal. One thing they have in common - they failed to excite them. It was a story half devoted to public relations to a very rich man ("$ 2.5 million watch") who does not know exactly how he came to this status after the country declared bankruptcy. Because of NIS 700,000, and the other half, revelations that were exciting in the first days after the signing, but were followed by a wave of news and new mysteries.

Mystery of the Century: Uri Levy's article after the hallucinatory journey in Dubai

Challenge asked questions and did not wait for answers.

Etgar really admired Cohen's immense wealth.

You can understand it, because not every day you come across a watch lined with expensive diamonds and such a fleet of vehicles in the parking lot.

The thing is, this segment had to last 3 to 5 minutes, not half an hour and not in such a burst of amazement.

Okay, we understand that this is a very wealthy man.

Instead of moving forward we were presented with a long exposition, an exhausting entry into the plot, which even included twice the same whip of Cohen's assistant scrubbing the Rolls Royce.

After such an entry, a big "boom" is supposed to come, but the 75-minute film proceeded slowly like the average Betar Jerusalem game in the Premier League. From

there, there were slight fluctuations in the excitement seismograph. Challenge nevertheless attributed suspicion to Cohen's wealth and this was evident in certain moments The moment when Etgar and the team were not allowed to enter the meeting was a bit dramatic. The barrage of questions about Cohen's history as Nachshon Nachshonov also raised some expectations. In the promo we were promised a "threat" to the team, which turned out to be Cohen's announcement. They were tracked from the moment they entered Dubai and warned of their entry into the country's blacklist

. To be who was simply stunned.In Uri Levy's article here he described what he felt then himself: "The last days in Dubai were historic and festive, but as time went on they became a twisting suspense film, with a dimness of detective story, in which the hidden rabbi seems to prevail over the visible.

This story has it all - a frontal normalization meeting between Israelis and sayings that created history, as well as a lot of euphoria, hope and headlines in Israel in the face of complete silence on the issue in the UAE, which has developed into very big suspicions in the present and especially for the future.

These question marks developed, at certain moments, into real hysteria. "The

challenge had more tools to describe the exact same drama. He was partially successful, but he had time to correct.

When celebrating was looking for a buyer, was the buyer already beyond the door?

Only he did not correct. A month passed, and Etgar put Cohen's speech on the line, this time in a trans-Saudi conversation between Tel Aviv and Dubai. Even in this short and focused time he wasted precious seconds and did not develop the story with the vanishing knowledge, with the immense suspicions surrounding the sheikh, not confronting him with any difficult question. Cohen raised him to reassure him when he said that he had not spoken to the sheikh for weeks, since he was celebrating and had direct contact with him and was no longer needed as a mediator. Was it not appropriate to ask him why he severed contact with Ben Khalifa, who defined Cohen as a "family" (and as evidence of the joint office the two share, at least according to the Israeli)? By the way, not only Cohen, but also Asher Gould, the public relations man who himself talked about the deal, is no longer in the business. Along with the disappearing news from the "Holiday Times" and all the problems that Ben Mittelman presented at the end, it was possible to push Cohen a little further into the corner. For example, to check through not-too-complicated connections in Dubai the issue of the certificate of integrity and the documents that the sheikh insists on not presenting, or at least to ask Cohen for his reference to it.

There is another small but important nuance that is worth paying attention to. On November 26, before the official deal was signed, Celebrated declared a closure with a real estate company that was supposed to help him reach the royal family and a potential buyer. If you believe Cohen's statement that he and Ben Khalifa share the same office, then the buyer was already out the door, literally. Was the whole game addictive? Was this deal signed long before the big show in early December, and if so - what exactly closed there?

The document we received in "Exposure" was leaky, flat, very unsatisfactory and mostly out of date. It was not an exposure, it was a small glimpse through the slits of the door into a world full of mystery that we had not seen the zero of, and what we did see were events we had already heard and read about long before. Etgar missed Date A and Date B as well, but at least slightly raised the already high threshold of doubt that exists around the deal. Now it only remains to be seen what they will believe in the Committee for the Transfer of Rights - to Cohen's expensive watch and fleet of cars, or to the strange zigzag in his relationship with Ben Khalifa, for all that that implies.
