The latest tweet from Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny, in which he supports the Palestinians, has caused a disagreement with one of Arsenal’s sponsors called Lavazza Group. The Egyptian player after the upsurge these days of the conflict between Israel and Palestine wrote: “My heart, my soul and all my support for Palestine.” The message was accompanied by a photo of the Al-Aqsa mosque located in the city of Jerusalem and which read the slogan “Palestinanlivesmatter” (Palestinian lives matter).

According to the British media, Tal Ofer, a member of the board of British Jewish deputies, contacted the Lavazza Group company, who said that he did not agree with the point of view defended by Elneny: “We will immediately contact Arsenal to comment that we are particularly concerned that the club is associated with this message. The content of this publication is not aligned with the values of this company. Lavazza Group is committed against racism and anti-Semitism, “argued the coffee-making firm.
On the other hand, the British medium JC spoke with an Arsenal worker who assured that the player has “every right to express his opinion”, and stressed that they are talking about the matter with Elneny so that “she understands the implications that it may entail”.
