Israeli comedian and soldier Guy Hochman appeared in a video swimming and enjoying himself on Gaza Beach, as he claimed. "A landlord needs to feel like a landlord, so we do it right... This is all ours! This is all ours! Check out the promenade. And now say hello to Nova Beach! On the Gaza beach!" said Hochman in a video made in collaboration with the IDF spokesperson.
The soldier, who is active on social media and previously wished for a second Nakba for Palestinians, removed his military uniform to dip into the waters of Gaza, declaring, "This is all ours... Everything is ours," referring to the Israeli army's invasion of the Strip and possibly its intentions for future occupation. This scene has sparked outrage among thousands of supporters of Palestine, who criticized the act as "provocative," revealing the intentions of Israeli forces to occupy Gaza.
