Why did you not complain to the police in real time and why did you complain many years later?

"It's a good question I've been asking myself for a long time. It's very difficult to make that move, to go complain about someone who has a lot of power and in the end it's your word versus his word. There are a lot of cases of people being victims and the police and court not really doing justice with "This is because it is difficult to prove. Even when I complained to the police and gave my testimony, I was informed by the prosecutor's office that the case was closed even though they believed me. I want him to apologize and regret it."

"I climb from a young age and I really like this competition. There was a moment where he crowns me and I go down the stairs and look at him and smile and say to him 'thank you very much.' "Behind that smiling face and that fake, dumb smile hides a disgusting person."

Yesterday, as stated, Nahari's testimony was published, in which he told about the sexual harassment he allegedly went through with Ezer during a professional meeting between them at the latter's home. "At some point, after about 20-20 minutes, he moved to the big sofa and sat down," said Yehuda Nahari. "He invited me to come closer, told me 'Release pressure, let's get closer, everything's fine, let's talk for a moment, I want to meet you.' "Look what you're causing me." I look and I'm a little shocked. I said to him, "I'm not really interested." Stage he approached me. I mean, he was sitting across from him on a couch, he's on one side and I's on the other side, far away. I'm not happy, please stay away.I even opened my heart and revealed the sexual abuse I experienced as a child, an injury that I suppressed until my twenties. "
