Politics also reached Qatar • During the match between Tunisia and Australia, the PLO flag was raised and calls were heard condemning Israel


After a week of matches in the World Cup in Qatar, today (Saturday) for the first time the political protest also reached the stands, when fans waved a huge sign saying "Free Palestine".

The sign was waved in the game between Tunisia and Australia, for many minutes without anyone preventing them from waving it and certainly not forbidding it to be brought into the field, when at the same time those pro-Palestinians also chanted against Israel.

A legitimate protest or should FIFA intervene? All the updates on the new World Cup Telegram channel

Since the start of the games, the many Israelis who have come to watch the games, and especially the media, encounter great hostility towards them, with supporters bursting into the broadcast with Palestinian flags and even trying to disrupt the broadcast, as happened to Israel Hayom correspondent Dor Hoffman.

It should be remembered that FIFA (the World Football Association) announced that it would not allow the use of political protests or certain organizations at games there, and it should be seen whether in this case they will also take care of it or turn a blind eye because of the host country and its relationship with the Palestinians.
