Bayern Munich will schedule a meeting with Noussair Mazraoui, the club announced to the German news agency DPA on Monday afternoon. The club management of the German team wants to talk to the defender about a message he posted on Instagram last weekend in which he declared his solidarity with Palestine.
That message also reached Bayern and the club management considers it necessary to discuss it with Mazraoui. “Everyone, including every employee and every player, knows what values Bayern stands for,” the club wrote.

“We already expressed this publicly and unequivocally immediately after the terrorist attack on Israel. We care about our friends in Israel and stand by their side. At the same time, we hope for a peaceful coexistence of all people in the Middle East,” Bayern said.
The club therefore wants to talk to the Moroccan international, but the right back is currently still with his national team. “A personal meeting with the club management in Munich is planned after his return,” said der Rekordmeister.
Mazraoui expressed his support for the people of Palestine on his social media channel, following the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He shared a verse from the Quran on his page. “And do not think that Allah is heedless of what those who do wrong do. It only restrains them until the day when their eyes will be frozen in horror.”
That video was accompanied by a flag of Palestine and contributions from other Moroccan teammates, who also expressed their support for the Palestinians. A day later he responded to BILD about the post.
“There is a situation going on where thousands of innocent people are being murdered. My position is that I will fight for peace and justice in this world. That means I will always be against any form of terrorism, hatred and violence. And I will always stay behind.”
“That’s why,” Mazraoui continues, “I don’t understand why people think the opposite of me and why I am associated with hateful groups. Today is not about what you or I think, but about the innocent people who are killed every day by this terrible conflict that has gotten out of hand. We must stand against it and speak out against it. This is simply inhumane.”
