Israeli-Palestinian conflict: the incredible imbroglio between Anwar El Ghazi and Mainz

“FSV Mainz 05 is terminating the contractual relationship with Anwar El Ghazi and has dismissed the player with immediate effect on Friday. The club is taking this action in response to the player’s statements and posts on social media.”. In a press release published last November, the German team made official the dismissal with immediate effect of Anwar El Ghazi. The reason? The support displayed by the person concerned for Palestine on his social networks following the events of October 7 in Israel.

Yes, but that’s it, the story didn’t end there and if the Dutch international (2 caps) finds himself today without a club, the German labor court ruled that this dismissal was invalid. Now it remains to be seen what the possible consequences will be for Mainz…
