It turns out that Saudi Arabia was a little less enthusiastic about the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, following an enthusiastic post by the contact, Khaled al-Hamdi.
The latter uploaded to his Twitter account the Israeli and Saudi Arabian flags, with hearts in between with an emoji of prayer, but al-Hamdi's gesture provoked a wave of criticism, and in fact caused quite a stir.
Al-Hamdi, who was immediately attacked with a variety of insults and even some surfers called for his immediate arrest, wrote, among other things, that he "sold himself to the Zionists" and some surfers even called him "the enemy of Islam."
Following the fierce attacks, the midfielder, who made three appearances for the Saudi national team and plays for Al Faisal, managed to delete the post in question, but remained steadfast when he moved to the Snapshot account where he uploaded a photo of Tiberias and hinted that he would visit Israel soon.
