After Egypt’s elimination by Argentina in the World Cup on Tuesday, Egyptian commentator Mohammed Nour published a video in which he blamed Israel for the 3-2 loss.
In the video, he claimed, among other things, that Yair Netanyahu, the son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was the one who brought Lionel Messi to Inter Miami.
Nour claimed that “the Argentina national team is an Israeli team par excellence. The president of Argentina is one of Benjamin Netanyahu’s best friends. Messi has visited Israel several times, even worn a kippah, and prayed at the Western Wall.
“He met with Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu and is a friend of Yair Netanyahu, who took him to America to play for Inter Miami. Messi and Argentina’s relations with Israel are well known. We played like heroes, but Israel – meaning FIFA and the referees – had something to say about it, and we couldn’t overcome these circumstances,” he added.
Messi did indeed visit Israel and pray at the Western Wall back in 2013, when he came with the Barcelona delegation, where he then played. . . claims that Israel has the power to determine the outcome of a match in the World Cup are not a reflection of the country’s current relationship with FIFA, which has been strained since Hamas’ October 7 attacks.
Since 2023, even after several ceasefires were established and amid periods of relative peace in the country, both the Israeli national team and Israeli clubs are still forbidden from hosting matches at home and must travel to other countries to play international games.
