Arab-Israeli soccer player Munas Dabbur announced Tuesday that he was leaving the Israeli national team, over a year after he was condemned by teammates and fans for his criticism of Israel regarding Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 30-year-old forward, who plays for Germany\u2019s Bundesliga team Hoffenheim, shared a post on Instagram announcing his retirement from the Israeli team.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to inform you of my decision that my part of the Israeli national team has come to an end. I would like to thank my family and everyone who has ever supported me,\u201d he wrote in the caption of a photo of him in the national soccer team\u2019s uniform.<\/span><\/p>\n

He did not elaborate on why he made the decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In May 2021 \u2014 amid a wave of unrest surrounding Jerusalem\u2019s holy sites that spilled into Israeli-Arab violence across the country as well as cross-border fighting between Israel and Gaza\u2019s Hamas \u2014 Dabbur posted to the same social media platform: \u201cGod will deal with the perpetrators of injustice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He subsequently explained that the post was directed toward Israel and as a way to protest excessive force by Israeli security forces, according to\u00a0Haaretz<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

After that, he became the target of constant booing by Israeli soccer fans and was not selected to play in the two following matches of the national team.<\/span><\/p>\n
