The conflict in the Middle East takes place on a football field.
French midfielder Paul Pogba showed his support for the Palestinians on Tuesday evening by touring the field with their flag, along with his Ivorian teammate Amad Diallo.
They made the gesture after a match against Fulham for Matchday 37 of the Premier League, English Ligue 1.
This meeting marked the return of the public in the stadiums in the championship of England.
About 10,000 people were in the stands at Old Trafford.
After the final whistle and the draw (1-1), Pogba and Diallo circled the pitch, each holding an upper corner of the flag and applauding towards the stands.
In a message written in English on his Instagram account, the Frenchman relayed an image of him captioned as follows: "Let's keep our world in peace and safe from violence."
Pray for Palestine ”

Last Saturday, after Leicester's FA Cup victory against Chelsea at Wembley (1-0), the French defender of the Foxes, Wesley Fofana, and his midfielder, the Englishman Hamza Choudhury, also sported the Palestinian flag.
The demonstrations of support come as a new round of violence has erupted between Israel and groups in Gaza.
In nine days, 3,500 rockets were fired by Palestinian Hamas, about 90% of which were intercepted by the Israeli anti-aircraft defense system, according to the military.
Since the start of armed hostilities, 213 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including at least 61 children, and more than 1,440 injured, according to a Palestinian record.
In Israel, twelve people were killed, including a child, and 294 injured by rocket fire.
