Maccabi Tel Aviv Accused of Placing Listening Devices in Oshae Brissett's Apartment Amid Ownership Feud

Tensions between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv escalated following the basketball championship series, which Maccabi won 3-1. The conflict intensified after Maccabi signed Bonzi Colson, while rumors emerged that Oshae Brissett, Maccabi's forward last season, was set to join Partizan Belgrade.

Ofer Yanai, owner of Hapoel Tel Aviv, fueled the rumors by tweeting that Brissett had signed with Partizan. In response, Maccabi's new co-owner, Arik Stillman, questioned Yanai about another player, leading to a sharp exchange. Yanai then accused Maccabi of placing listening devices in Brissett's apartment to monitor his conversations, suggesting that Stillman was unaware of this surveillance.

This public dispute highlights the ongoing rivalry and mistrust between the two clubs following the recent championship, with ownership figures directly engaging in social media confrontations. The situation remains unresolved as both sides continue to trade accusations.
