This gesture is seen as a direct response to Irish player Jack Moylan, who had previously kissed an armband for Palestine during a match. The two encounters with Ireland have been highly charged, extending beyond the sport itself.
Peretz removed the armband, which commemorated the October 7th massacre, kissed it, and then ran to celebrate with his teammates.
