The popularity of Lionel Messi is not unknown to anyone. Messi’s name has reached every corner of the world. This time, an old woman was saved from the hands of Hamas, a Palestinian independence organization, only because of Messi’s name. A member of Hamas released him for saying Messi’s name.
The incident happened in October last year. After being released, the woman named Ester Cuneo described the incident. A family was abducted in the Kibbutz Nir Oz area of Gaza. The 90-year-old Kunio of that family was released by the Hamas members because he identified himself as Lionel Messi’s countryman.
“I told him (the Hamas member) that I could speak Argentine and Spanish,” said Cuneo, recounting the terrifying experience of being abducted by Hamas. Then he asked what is Argentina?’
‘Then I asked him, do you watch football? He said that he likes football. I said you know Messi? I am from Messi’s country. She then expresses surprise and says that she loves Messi. He then put his hand on my shoulder and handed me the gun and took a picture with the peace sign.’
Although the old woman was saved, her grandchildren were captured by Hamas. They have not been released yet. He also said, “If Messi knows that I was saved by calling his name, then my grandchildren are stuck there.” May God release them too. They are as precious to me as gold.’
