An Israeli player who played in the Turkiye professional soccer league was arrested by the Turkye prosecutors for his goal celebration during the game.

It was the 100th day of war between Israel and the Palestinian armed faction Hamas.

A player who scores a goal in a professional soccer game in Turkye celebrates by raising his left hand in celebration.

The bandage wrapped around the wrist has the phrase ‘100 days, October 7th’ and the ‘Star of David’, a Jewish symbol, drawn on it.

This is Sagib Yehezkel, an Israeli player who belongs to the Antalyaspor team.

To mark the 100th day of the war between Israel and Hamas, the goal ceremony was a reminder of the war.

Then, the Turkic authorities, who support Palestine and Hamas, arrested the player as soon as the game ended, investigated him, and then released him.

The club announced that it had decided to exclude Yehezkel from the player list.

Immediately after the incident, the Israeli Minister of Defense strongly criticized Turkiye, saying, “When an earthquake occurred in Turkiye just a year ago, Israel was the first to provide assistance and saved the lives of many Turkic people.”
