The summoning of Omar Atzili to the Israeli national team ahead of the match against Albania on Saturday continues to evoke echoes.
The Women's Lobby in Israel, the Association of Aid Centers for Victims and Victims of Sexual Assault in Israel and Alternative Women, appealed to the Football Association with the aim of expelling the player from the national team and stated: "The Israeli national team is the showcase of Israeli sports in general and Israeli football in particular.
The players of the national team, in their behavior, are a role model for boys and young children."
"Despite this, the support given by the association for the player's serious actions, even though he did not bother to apologize to the minor, and it seems that he has not yet realized the seriousness of his actions. The player's summons to the Israeli national team was done in complete disregard of the code of ethics, which requires the respondent to present the player before a conference Ethics has not yet summoned him to the national team. In doing so, the respondent diminishes the dignity of wearing the national uniform of the Israeli national team, and violates all the moral values embodied in them. Therefore, the honorable court is hereby requested to order the cancellation of the summoning of Omar Atzili to the Israeli national team until a hearing on his case is held before the ethics committee of the association."

As I recall, Omer Atzili and Dor Micah were involved about two years ago in a high-profile affair, in which they had sexual relations with underage girls.
After a big storm in Israel, the two left the Maccabi Tel Aviv team that canceled their contract, but a year later they both returned to Israel - and are playing for Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel BS.
