Scotland-Israel meeting/symbolic protest against the attack on Rafah.
According to Anatoly, before the start of the match between the women’s football teams of Scotland and Israel in the Euro 2025 qualifiers, one of the spectators chained himself to the goal post in a protest against the brutal attack of the Zionist regime on Rafah.
According to the report of ATV News, the atmosphere of the meeting between Scotland and Israel was extremely security-sensitive due to the Gaza war and the Zionist regime’s attack on the city of Rafah in the south of Gaza. The protesting 19-year-old spectator also intensified the security conditions by entering the field and tying himself to the goal post.
Also, after the start of the game, the Israeli team protested the inability of Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, to release prisoners held by Hamas by displaying T-shirts.
In the meantime, hundreds of people outside the stadium where the meeting was held, holding the Palestinian flag and symbolic coffins, showed a wider manifestation of protest and public anger towards the ongoing war in Gaza and the barbaric attacks of the occupiers on Rafah.
The Zionist regime has started its brutal attacks against Gaza since October 7, 2023 and has ignored the UN resolution regarding the establishment of an immediate ceasefire. During the more than 230-day war in Gaza, more than 36,200 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children, have been martyred. Israel is on trial at the International Court of Justice for genocide, and the body has just ordered Tel Aviv to stop operations in Rafah.
