With the start of the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Israelis do not hide their displeasure at the embarrassment experienced by Israeli TV correspondents when they tried to talk to Arab fans at the World Cup.
Honorary posts were recorded by fans of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and other Arab countries when they refused to talk to Israeli channels and even denied the existence of Israel.
The Arab masses, meeting with the Israeli media, decided to support Palestine and raise their flag in a blatant defiance, reflecting the failure of Israel’s policy to infiltrate the Arab arena and normalize its relations with the peoples of the region. It is true that the Israeli national team does not participate in the World Cup, but the Israeli presence was not absent in this tournament, which is held for the first time in the Middle East, as Israel armed itself with various tools and weapons, in an attempt to invest this global football event in political goals, perhaps the most notable of which is the attempt to attract the Arab public to the World Cup.
Various Israeli media outlets cover the World Cup events from Qatar, with more than 10 media missions linked to Israeli TV channels, including the official Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, Kan 11 and the Arabic-language Makan, which are funded from the state budget.
