LONDON: Israeli footballer Sagiv Jehezkel is facing prosecution in Turkiye for displaying a message marking 100 days since Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, the BBC reported on Monday.
Jehezkel, who plays for Antalyaspor, held up a bandaged hand that read “100 days. 7/10,” which also included a Star of David, after scoring a goal.
Turkish authorities detained him for questioning before releasing him pending a trial on Monday. The striker has been charged with “publicly inciting the public to hatred and hostility,” the BBC reported.
