Hapoel Ironi Tiberias Secures Draw Amidst Financial Dispute

Hapoel Ironi Tiberias salvaged a home draw against Hapoel Jerusalem on Tuesday, scoring an equalizer in stoppage time. The club expressed satisfaction with the players' determination and the debut goal by Kase Ghanem, who is expected to be a key offensive player this season. Coaches Alon Ziv and Moti Krispil plan to address defensive lapses, inaccuracies in set pieces, and the concession of two easy goals.

Defender Sambinha and midfielders David Keltins and Niv Gottlieb have returned to training after being suspended due to a transfusion controversy. The club is awaiting their return from suspension. Meanwhile, Ironi Tiberias is still pursuing new signings despite the transfer window closing today. Michael Ohana, a free agent, could still join even after the window shuts.

Arieh Kalmanzon and other club officials are engaged in legal efforts to release the association's funds from a former manager, Mickey Beitan, who co-managed the team with Kalmanzon until recently. This financial dispute is ongoing.

Simultaneously, fans displayed banners protesting Beitan on Tuesday, demanding his departure and the release of the association's funds, highlighting the tension between former associates. The club hopes to resolve this saga and is seeking temporary solutions to ensure its continued operation.
