Jerusalem: Palestinian football player Mones Dabr, who strongly criticized the Israeli government’s violence against Palestinians, has resigned from the Israeli national team. 30-year-old Dabr was born in Nasram. Dabbour’s hometown is an area with a majority of Palestinians who survived Israel’s genocide.
Fans were informed about the departure of the team through an Instagram post. But the actor did not specify the reason for leaving the team. “My part in the Israeli national team is over. I would like to inform you of this decision and thank everyone who has supported me and my family’. He says in the video.
Mones Dabr had strongly criticized the Israeli occupation forces’ attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in May last year. He also wrote on Instagram that ‘God will punish those who do injustice’.
After this, there were strong objections against him from Israel. He was forced to publicly apologize to his teammates for this comment. Also had to be out of the team many times. Dabber’s brother, Anas, responded to the Israeli media last July that he was considering leaving the national team when the abuses increased.
