Beşiktaş faced Maccabi Tel Aviv in Hungary in the 5th week of the UEFA Europa League. Israeli footballer Gavriel Kanichowsky, who plays for the Israeli representative, made a scandalous gesture. SALUTING AND SHOWING THE ISRAELI FLAGKanichowsky, who scored the first goal for Maccabi Tel Aviv in the 23rd minute, saluted the army by showing the Israeli flag after the goal. This action by the 27-year-old Israeli footballer received a strong reaction from Turkey. It remains a question whether UEFA will impose any sanctions following this incident. UEFA HAD PUNISHED USUEFA had fined the Turkish Football Federation 50,000 euros due to the military salute given by our national team players during the Euro 2020 qualifiers against France and Albania. Additionally, our national footballer Merih Demiral received a 2-match ban for making the Grey Wolf sign after scoring against Hungary in EURO 2024.
