After the nightmare in Turkey: Shagib Yehezkel landed in Israel./Yotam Ronan
More than a month after the storm that broke out on the Turkey-Israel border, Antalyaspor is still busy with the aftermath of the Shagib Yehezkel case.
According to reports in Turkey, in recent days Yehezkel filed an arbitration claim with the FIFA institutions in order to receive an immediate release from the team, including financial compensation and special permission to sign and play in a third team this season
. the Israeli abductees in Gaza, to receive four months' pay on the grounds that he suffered mental anguish and that his good name was damaged as a result of the affair.
Antalyaspor, for its part, is refusing the demands for the time being, and is convinced that Hezekiel is the one who caused the club image damage - and not the other way around.
The vice president of the club, Fateh Gurcho, said yesterday: The club, the city and the country - all were deeply affected by this case.
We have to accept it, but after all this is a single case, a wound that we as a club are trying to close.
Unfortunately, there are those who benefit from the wound remaining open, and it is clear to everyone who it is."
The affair refuses to die down.

According to Gurcho, "our best people and the best legal advisors are working day and night to ensure that our interests are protected in this case, whatever happens."
