A week after the crash of the deal with Sheikh Hemed Ben Khalifa was reported, Moshe Hogg, owner of Betar Jerusalem, clarifies that the deal may still be implemented and only temporarily postponed. He claims that in a conversation he had in recent days with Ben Khalifa's business manager, "I was told that until At the end of the month, they deliver everything that was requested in accordance with the summaries. "
In a personal and comprehensive interview, which will be published tomorrow in the "Shishvat" supplement, Celebrate refers to the storm and criticism surrounding the sale deal and claims that "I have no doubt that if the Sheikh wanted to buy Hapoel Tel Aviv, it would go smoothly. I did not imagine the Israel Football Association To bring down the deal. "
Celebrates agrees that there is ambiguity about the deal, "I do not deny that there are real problems. If half of the things that came from different directions, like the investigative firm that the association operated, turn out to be true - I do not want it. At the moment I am still in the process of investigation."
In addition, he notes that question marks have also arisen on his part.
"I'm not naive. I will not go into detail, because maybe I'm wrong. But when I sat down and analyzed all the information I had, what tipped the scales in favor of making the deal is the motive. After all, every bluff is revealed. Why expose yourself and state your intentions on stage Most important, if your hands are not clean? ".
He said he managed to make it clear to Ben Khalifa that this was a "historic opportunity. The team of Jerusalem, the holy city of the three religions. We will inspire the whole world by illustrating that Jews and Muslims do not have to be enemies. I made it clear that this is what he buys, not a football team. Hapoel Tel Aviv I offered him for free. I told him, 'With Hapoel Tel Aviv you will not make history. History will only be made in Betar Jerusalem.'
To make a change, go where there are problems.
Go where it hurts. "
"Legal extortion"
Celebrates admits that he did not remain indifferent to criticism of him.
"I take to heart the ignorance of the good. It's inconceivable to me. Hello, a drop of credit. I did not inherit the money, nor did I win the lottery. A little appreciation. It did not happen by itself, nor could I keep everything to myself and my home and give no shekel to any social cause." .
Speaking about the attacks from La Familia says celebrating: "At first I was confused with La Familia. I met the people, and said they are fundamentally good. I believed that this matter could be taken care of and I hugged them. I gave them strength. "Stinged. Just not allowed. It's cancer. Cancer that needs to be cut down, and I have to fight it."
In addition, Celebrates claims that the lawsuits filed against him in connection with his business are also related to him being the owner of Betar. "I did not come across or experience this in these monstrous dimensions before I acquired Betar. There is a method here. One of the people suing me sat with me and asked, "Do you know what a greenmail is? Like Blackmail, but Green. He does not attach a gun to my head, but sues me and runs to the media. Legal extortion."
