“ Stop killing children, stop killing banners of civilians demonstrated in the match after criticizing a tribute to the Palestinian footballer Suleiman al-Obeid who was killed by Israel.
UEFA has deployed a banner with the message “Stop killing children. Stop killing civilians “on the field before the Super Cup football match between Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham in Udine, Italy, following great benefits on his sweet tribute to a Palestinian player killed by Israel.
“The message is noisy and clear,” the corps director of European football said on Wednesday in an article on X OM on Wednesday. “A banner. A call.”
Nine refugee children from Palestine, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Iraq brought the banner on the field before the start of the match.
Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah last week criticized a tribute to UEFA at the lateiman al-Obeid, known as “Palestinian Pelé”, after the European football director did not refer the circumstances surrounding his murder.
Palestine Football Association said that Al-Obeid, 41, was killed by an Israeli attack On civilians awaiting humanitarian aid in the south of the Gaza Strip.
In a brief article on X, UEFA called the former member of the national team “a talent that gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest moments”.
Salah replied, “Can you tell us how he died, where and why?”
Addressing Al Jazeera last week, Bassil Mikdadi, the founder of Palestine of Football, said that he did not expect the football organization to respond to criticism.
“UEFA has not published follow-up, and frankly, I would be surprised if they do,” he said, citing the “full silence” of the body of football and players since the start of the war against Gaza.
Even UEFA’s tribute to Al-Obeid “was a bit surprised,” said Mikdadi.
“Suleiman al -Obeid is not the first Palestinian footballer to perish in this genocide – there have been more than 400 – but he is by far the most important for the moment.”
Salah, one of the largest stars in the Premier League, has pleaded for humanitarian aid Be authorized to enter Gaza during the almost two years war.
But some responding to the post of Salah asked why the 33 -year -old Egyptian had taken so long to weigh on the genocidal war of Israel.
The relocation of the banner came a day after the UEFA children’s foundation announced its latest initiative to help children affected by war in different parts of the world – a partnership with Medecins du Monde, Doctors Without Borders (known by its French initials MSF) and International Handicap.
These are charitable organizations “providing vital humanitarian aid to Gaza children,” UEFA said in a press release on Tuesday.
