Israel Defense Forces (IDF) addresses Mohamed Salah's social media post regarding the 'Palestinian Pele'
Published on August 10, 2025, by Al Bawaba
In a surprising turn of events, Liverpool FC's star player, Mohamed Salah, has questioned UEFA and the Israeli army over the death of Suleiman Obeid, also known as the Palestinian Pele.
The controversy began when Mohamed Salah posted a message on UEFA's official platform, expressing his concern over Suleiman Obeid's death. The Israeli army responded, stating they found no records of any incidents involving Suleiman al-Obeid and requested more details.
However, LTC Nadav Shoshani's response resulted in a flood of comments criticizing the Israeli army. A pro-Palestine user questioned the reliability of the Israeli army's statement, while another user asked the Israeli army to check their records of child casualties.
Mohamed Salah was not satisfied with the response and further questioned UEFA about the circumstances surrounding Suleiman Obeid's death on the same platform. His post was met with support from several other users, who called for more information about Suleidn Obeid's death and the ban of Israel from UEFA.
It is important to note that there have been no further interactions between Mohamed Salah and the Israeli army after LTC Nadav Shoshani's response.
Meanwhile, the ongoing aggression by Israel on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has resulted in the killing of over 60,000 Palestinians, including over 100 children, as a result of the ongoing famine in the region.
Suleiman Obeid, a renowned Palestinian footballer, was shot dead by Israeli forces on August 6, 2025. UEFA posted a farewell message to Suleiman Obeid on its official platform without disclosing the reason for his death.
As of now, there are no detailed search results available specifically about the circumstances of Suleiman Obeid's death or the Israeli army's response to Mohamed Salah's inquiry regarding it.

Mohamed Salah was seen participating in a training session at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on July 24, 2025. The article was published by Al Bawaba, a news website.
