Algerian news outlet condemns Chelsea footballer for participating in Holocaust tribute

An Algerian news outlet has attacked a Moroccan-born Chelsea FC footballer over his participation in a Holocaust Memorial tribute.

The Algerian channel, Ennahar TV, showed a photo of Moroccan player Hakim Ziyech with his teammates at Chelsea’s tribute to Holocaust victims, and described his participation as “a scandal.”

The photo of Mr Ziyech and two teammates holding a banner declaring “We Remember,” and the logo of Chelsea FC and of the World Jewish Congress (WJC), was initially shared by Israel’s official Arabic Twitter account on 28th January.

The Algerian media report is part of an Islamist narrative criticising Morocco for its recent rapprochement with Israel.
