A viral video on the YouTube channel "Unknowns of Football," which boasts 330,000 followers, suggests that Barcelona player Lamine Yamal may be secretly supporting Palestine due to fear of repercussions from Israel. The video, which has garnered over 217,000 views in four days, questions why Yamal no longer openly displays his support for Palestine.
The video references an incident last year during Barcelona's championship celebrations when Yamal waved a Palestinian flag, drawing international attention, criticism from Israel, and a clarification from Barcelona. The video falsely claims Yamal also waved a Palestinian flag at the World Cup. It asserts that Yamal has not made similar gestures recently not because his support has waned, but because he is tired of intense criticism and relentless pressure from "pro-Israel supporters."
According to the video's narrator, even coach Hansi Flick opposed Yamal on this issue and supported Israel. The video concludes that Yamal now expresses his support for Palestine "secretly, away from the eyes of the media."
