Hodaya Cohen and the 'sulha' we've been waiting for: 'My life'
Less than a month after Hodaya Cohen cut ties with her friend Modi Sapori following a social media storm, the two are signaling that their friendship is back on track.
The world of Israeli reality TV is no stranger to drama and complex relationships, but it seems that one of the most discussed conflicts of recent times is on the way to a resolution. Less than a month after reports surfaced that 'Big Brother' contestant Hodaya Cohen had cut ties with her friend Modi Sapori, the two are now signaling that it is business as usual.
The first sign of a turnaround came directly from Cohen's Instagram account. During a vacation trip to Santorini with her partner, Zohar Isaac Zaken, Cohen shared a photo from the plane revealing that she had used Sapori's tourism business to receive VIP service at the terminal.
Alongside tagging the business and Sapori personally, Cohen added a warm caption: 'My life, there is no one more genius than you.' Sapori, for his part, reshared the story on his personal account, making it clear that they have reconciled.
The friendship between the two was at the center of public interest during the 'Big Brother' season. Cohen shared the house with Gal Rubin, an ex of Sapori and the eventual winner of that season. The relationship between Cohen and Rubin was tense from the start, largely because while Rubin and Sapori had parted ways on sour notes, Cohen chose to maintain her loyalty and close connection to Sapori.
The rift that occurred about a month ago was initiated by Cohen, following advice she received from her close circle. The background touched, among other things, on Sapori's Arab origin, alongside Cohen's painful family circumstances, as her brother was murdered in the October 7 disaster at the Nova music festival. Sapori addressed the rift at the time in a conversation with media outlets, stating:
'This is God's creation, this is how I was born.'
