Israeli comedian Eli Yazban made a call to the "Caesar" hotel in Beirut, requesting to book rooms for thousands of Israelis "wanting to leave their country due to the security situation." Yazban broadcasted the call live during a program on "Channel 12" in Israel, where the hotel staff appeared surprised by the call. To confirm the identity of the caller, the staff asked again, "Where are you from?" Yazban replied, "From the State of Israel." The hotel staff then responded, "Go to hell."
