Ben-Haim said she ‘felt like a punching bag’ being assaulted by the gun-wielding agent and that ‘I saw death in front of my face’.
‘Before I could understand what was happening, I felt a hard slap across my face, and he immediately began punching me in the chest,’ Ben-Haim said.

Ben-Haim told Israeli TV she ‘was in total shock,’ adding ‘he was so strong … I couldn’t even attempt to defend myself. In my head, I was thinking, ‘You won’t survive this. This is the end of your life.’ ‘
She was eventually rescued when an armed bystander began to yell at the agent in English. Ben-Haim said it was clear the two knew he each other. She said the other man restrained her attacker, freeing her from his grasp.
Ben-Haim managed to get photos of the men before calling police as they took off running down the street away from her.
She says Israeli police never got back to her, all the while she suffered in bed, unable to leave and didn’t even know the identity of her attacker until contacted by Israeli TV for an interview, who said he was part of the service’s Counter Assault Team.
Ben-Haim says she’s weighing legal options and may ask for top 10 an expedited visa to spend time with American relatives while she contemplates anything further
‘This is not someone from a third-world country. America is the example of the world, and he works for the president,’ Ben-Haim said. ‘They just shipped him back to where he came like nothing ever happened, and they expect me to just move on with my life’
Ben-Haim was disturbed upon learning who had attacked her: ‘When I heard who he was, I just felt more anger, more hurt. He’s not a homeless person off the street. He’s a trained fighter.’
Arutz was able to find surveillance footage showing the agent getting out of a bar just moments before the attack.
She believes the United States is trying to ‘sweep this under the carpet’ as the agent was allowed to go home and she hasn’t been contacted by American officials.
‘This is not someone from a third-world country. America is the example of the world, and he works for the president,’ Ben-Haim said. ‘They just shipped him back to where he came like nothing ever happened, and they expect me to just move on with my life.’
