Liverpool Forward Mohammed Salah criticized the European Football’s governing body UEFA on his tribute to the former Palestinian International Suleman Al-Obed.
The Egyptian star, which is one of the world’s most famous Arab football players, on Saturday exposed how the UEFA post on X did not kill Al-Obid.
For Palestinian Football Association (PFA), Al-Obid was shot by Israeli forces, while citizens were waiting for assistance in the Southern Gaza Strip.
What did UEFA say about Suleman al-Obid?
In a message on X, the UEFA “called a talent, who gave hope to countless children, even in the dark.”
The statement said, “He gave his talent and dedication to Gaza’s children and hoped to bloom his dreams despite sorrow.” “His death is a great to remember the power of the game for the world of football and to unite people.”
What did Mo Salah say?
In a reply to that post, Salah asked: “Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?”
One of the largest stars in the English Premier League, the Egyptian striker has repeatedly asked to increase Humanitrian’s reach in Gaza.
In October 2023, shortly after the war began, Salah “urged world leaders to come together” to allow Humanitrian aid in Gaza to “stop slaughter of innocent souls”.
How did Suleman al-Obid die?
The PFA said 41 -year -old OBID was killed on Wednesday when Israeli forces attacked a group of citizens collected for humanitarian aid distribution in Southern Gaza.
Born in Gaza City, Obid was married to five children and played 24 international matches for Palestine. Hey Palestinian is known as Pelé, after Brazilian footballer is considered the best of all times by many people.
OBID earned 24 caps for Palestinian national team and scored twice – including a dazzling scissors kick goal in the 2010 West Asian Football Federation Championship
The UEFA listed Team Palestine, which was recognized as a national team in 1998, ranked 129th in its world rankings.
What did football figures say about Gaza first?
Sala is not the only Premier League personality to publicly talk about Gaza. In June, Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola gave a emotional speech while honored by Manchester University.
The 54 -year -old said in an exirt shared on social media: “It is painful what we see in Gaza, it damages my whole body.”
Hey said: “Let me be clear, it’s not about ideology. It’s not that I am right, or you are wrong. It is just about life’s love, about your neighbor’s care.”
At the end of 2023, Bundesaliga Club Mej rejected Dutch Winger Anwar L. Gazi, who is now playing for Welsh Side Cardiff City, which is on social media posts related to conflict. A court later ruled that the comments did not immediately stop their working relations with the club.
PFA says 325 people in the Palestinian football community have died in a struggle since October 2023.
