Israeli national footballers Ramzi Safuri and Sagiv Jehezkel will not play for Turkish first division club Antalyaspor on Saturday in protest. The reason: in the Süper Lig there is a minute’s silence and other actions to commemorate the Palestinians killed in Israeli air strikes. In addition, the players must wear a mourning ribbon.
“As footballers who are proud to be national team players, we have no intention of participating in this ceremony or even being present in the stadium. We have made this clear to those responsible for the club and they respect our decision,” Safuri and Jehezkel said in a statement, according to Turkish and Israeli media.
According to Antalyaspor, before the Super Lig matches, the players will display a banner with the text: “We condemn the oppression in Gaza.” (SDA)
