Threats against Hakim Ziyech : In Paris, an association seizes international bodies to protect the player

A Moroccan human rights association based in Paris has firmly condemned the threats made by Itamar Ben Gvir, the Israeli Minister of National Security, against the striker Hakim Ziyech. The organization sent a protest email to the Israeli ambassador in France, arguing that these remarks violate a fundamental right. It expresses its "deep indignation" at the targeting of a citizen who has only exercised his freedom of expression.

The dispute began after a publication by the Moroccan international on his social networks, criticizing a controversial Israeli legislation. In response to the minister’s accusations, the player replied on Instagram: "We do not fear Zionism". This power struggle is part of a climate of growing tensions around the footballer’s positions related to the situation in Palestine.

Faced with the "gravity" of these statements, the association has also alerted several international human rights organizations and bodies with which it collaborates. It reaffirms its unwavering commitment to universal principles and international treaties. It wishes to draw attention to the "worrying doubts" raised by the attitude of the Israeli government official towards a Moroccan public figure.
