Former Chelsea FC star Hakim Ziyech, who captains the Morocco national team, appears to have mocked the victims of overnight attacks on Israeli football fans in Amsterdam.
In a post on Instagram, he equated the violence against Jewish fans with Israeli military operations in Gaza.
“If it’s not women and children then they run away,” he wrote while sharing footage of Israeli supporters fleeing a pro-Palestinian mob to his 11.4 million followers.
“And still free Palestina,” he added.
The violence broke out in the aftermath of a UEFA Europa League match between Ajax Amsterdam and Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday night.
