A new conspiracy theory has sparked controversy on social media in the Arab world after Egyptian analyst Mohamed Nour accused Israel and FIFA of orchestrating Egypt's elimination from the World Cup by Argentina. Nour, who is linked to the Egyptian establishment, claimed that Argentina's national team is effectively an "Israeli team" and alleged that Argentina's president, Javier Milei, is a close friend of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
