Mohamed Salah is one of those football stars who are very little talked about outside the field. The Liverpool striker speaks little in the media, or on social networks, but he spoke this weekend to react to a tragic news.

While UEFA paid tribute to the Suleiman al-Obeid footballer, Mohamed Salah challenged the European body about the death of the one who was nicknamed the “Palestinian Pale”. “Can you tell us how he died, where and why?” »»asked the Liverpool striker.

This is probably a rhetorical question, because Mohamed Salah probably knows the answer. As France 24 confirms, Suleiman al-Obeid was killed during an Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip. The 41 -year -old man, father of five, was killed while waiting for humanitarian aid, according to the Palestinian Federation.

Mohamed Salah's message has been “liked” over 1 million times on X (ex-Twitter). Many use her speaking to challenge the UEFA so that she is positioning herself on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, like what could have been done after the Russia of the War in Ukraine.
