On Thursday, media reported that Bayern had suspended Mazraoui from training with the team because of social media posts supporting Palestine, which many, including German politicians, considered to justify terrorist attacks against Israel. Bayern were called upon to terminate the contract with the Moroccan footballer, and the authorities were called upon to expel him from the country.
“Noussair Mazraoui convincingly assured us that, as a peace-loving person, he strongly rejects terror and war and never wanted to cause irritation with his posts.
Bayern condemns the Hamas attack on Israel. Bayern and Noussair Mazraoui strongly oppose the transfer of the Middle East conflict and its violence to Germany, which is committed to peace. Hatred and violence of any kind have no place in German political culture.
“Bavaria” supports the Jewish community in Germany and stands on the side of Israel. Nothing justifies the murder of children and families.
Bayern believes that football must unleash its power of reconciliation between different cultures, especially in the most difficult moments. Noussair Mazraoui remains in the Bayern squad, but is out of action due to an injury,” says the statement on the official Bayern website.
