Mo Salah called for UEFA’s response to the death of a Palestinian footballer killed after an attack by Israeli forces in southern Gaza
Mohamed Sarah asked the UEFA question after the European governing body paid tribute to the footballer known as the “Palestinian Pere” after his death. According to the Palestinian Football Association (PFA), Suleiman al-Ouid was killed in an Israeli attack in southern Gaza.
Obed was killed Wednesday after civilians awaiting humanitarian assistance by Israeli forces were attacked by the PFA. The 41-year-old was labelled “the brightest star of Palestinian football,” and won Yemen and Yemen scissors at the 2010 West Asian Football Federation Championships.
The football player has been survived by his wife and children, and his family has seen respect come into being during the conflict in Gaza. UEFA expressed his sadness.
“Suleyman al-Obaid, ‘Palestine Pere’, body posted on Susial Media. “A talent that gave countless children hope, even in the darkest times.”
Liverpool’s Star Sarah seemed unimpressed by the scarce details the European Union had provided. The Egyptians cited UEFA homage and quickly highlighted the issues he found in their posts.

“Can you tell me how he died, where and why?” Sarah posted on X.
Obedido is just one of the hundreds of sports people who lost their lives in Gaza. At least 662 athletes and their relatives are reportedly killed during the Israeli attack.
“The number of murdered soccer players or people who died of starvation reached 421, including 103 children,” the PFA said.
The association also claims that 288 sports facilities covering stadiums, training grounds, gyms and clubhouses have been damaged or turned into tiled rubs. The majority of these were in Gaza, with 20 people on the West Bank. The PFA headquarters is one of the places affected after being hit by an Israeli air raid.
Sarah has previously spoken about the devastation that is taking place in the Middle East. “It’s not always easy to talk about in times like these,” he said.
“There’s been too much violence and too much heartbreaking atrocities. The escalations over the past few weeks are unbearable to witness.
“All lives must be sacred and protected. The genocide needs to stop. The families are torn apart. What is clear now is that humanitarian assistance to Gaza must be granted immediately.
“Last night’s hospital scene was horrifying. The Gaza people are in urgent need of food, water and medical supplies. I am calling on world leaders to gather together to prevent further massacres of all innocent souls. Humanity must win.”
