A player in Israel's top soccer league is facing allegations of sexual harassment, but has presented a different account of the events, claiming he was blackmailed by the accuser. The accuser, a private medical staff member not affiliated with the team, alleges a non-consensual sexual act occurred. The player, however, states that during a private treatment session, he made an inappropriate joke, which he claims is the extent of his involvement. He asserts no sexual act took place, only a poorly received remark.

According to the player's version, the medical staff member then attempted to blackmail him, threatening to reveal details about him. The player claims he refused to pay, leading to the accuser filing a police complaint. The incident reportedly occurred ten days ago, and the player has not missed any team practices since. The complaint was filed yesterday, and the player is expected to be summoned for questioning.
