Released hostage Alon Ohel appeared at the end of the satirical comedy show “Eretz Nehederet” for a moment of sincerity, playing the piano as the cast sang David Broza’s “Under the Sky.”

Host Eyal Kitzis noted that having Ohel with them closed the circle from eight months earlier, when singer and performer Hanan Ben Ari joined the “Eretz Nehederet” cast to sing a song for Ohel, a budding pianist who was held hostage for two years and freed earlier this month along with 19 other surviving captives.

Ohel, wearing a patch on his right eye due to untreated injuries he sustained during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack, grinned from time to time during the performance, particularly when his parents and sister joined him and the cast onstage.

“We came here, from under the sky, two, like a pair of eyes. We have time, under the sky, in the meantime, we’re still here,” read the Hebrew lyrics of the classic song.
