SPORT: Turkish Court Releases Israeli Footballer Pending Hearing
Police detained the Antalyaspor player Sagiv Jehezkel after a message written on his wristband marking 100 days since the 7 October assault by Hamas.
The prosecutor launched an investigation into the incident, arguing that the Israeli national might have been trying to incite the public. Jehezkel told police in his official testimony that he wasn’t trying to incite anyone.
“I am not a pro-war person. And after all, there are also Israeli soldiers captured in Gaza,” he said.
“I am someone who believes that this 100-day period should end now. I want the war to end. That’s why I showed the sign here,” he said. “I am someone who has nothing to do with politics.”
Jehezkel said that he wanted to draw attention to the fact that the war should end now.”
Turkish Super Lig club Antalyaspor last night announced it would cancel Jehezkel’s contract.
