  • An Israeli Premier League soccer player is accused of sexual harassment.

  • The player claims he was blackmailed after making a sexually suggestive joke.
  • The player has not missed team training since the incident.

A new controversy has erupted in Israeli football involving a player from the Premier League who is facing accusations of sexual harassment. The alleged incident occurred about ten days ago, and the player has presented a starkly different account, claiming he is being blackmailed.

The accuser, a medical staff member not affiliated with the player's team but hired privately, alleges a non-consensual sexual act took place, leading to the complaint. However, the player insists that no such act occurred. According to his version of events, during a treatment session, he made a sexually suggestive joke to the masseur, which he claims was a failed attempt at humor and the extent of his involvement.

The player further alleges that the masseur attempted to extort money from him, threatening to reveal fabricated information. He states he refused to pay, which prompted the masseur to file a police complaint.

The player's club is aware of the incident, and he has not missed any training sessions since it occurred. The complaint was officially filed yesterday, and the player is expected to be summoned for questioning by the authorities.
