Israel's national soccer team captain, Dor Peretz, scored a sophisticated goal against Ireland, immediately followed by a celebratory gesture aimed at their opponent. Peretz removed his armband, which commemorated the October 7th massacre victims, kissed it, and then ran to celebrate with his teammates. The two matches against Ireland were highly charged, with tensions extending beyond the sport itself. Last week, Irish player Jack Moylan kissed his team's armband, worn in support of Palestine. Peretz's response came shortly after, as captured in a video clip accompanying the report.
