Israel captain stokes feud with '10 times better' remark

Israel captain Manor Solomon sparked controversy by claiming his country was "10 times better" than Ireland after their Nations League match. The Israel international added fuel to the fire by bluntly stating: "They hate us and we don't like them."

The tensions escalated when Ireland players and staff showed their disapproval by staring at the ground during Israel's anthem and refusing to shake hands or exchange pennants, in protest at Israeli military actions in Gaza which have killed tens of thousands of people. newsindata.com
