We are proud of Sagiv Yehezkel and of him using his platform to support the hostages even in a hostile atmosphere in Turkey. We look forward to seeing you scoring goals in a new uniform soon! 🇮🇱💪⚽
Sagiv Yehezkel, a footballer for the Turkish team Antalyaspor, scored a goal in his team's game today and as he celebrated it, he showed the camera a note on his hand bandage to raise awareness about the Israeli hostages.
An important and courageous move in Turkey, which is an anti-Israeli country that openly supports Hamas! The Turkish world is furious and the club removed the photo of Yehezkel's goal celebration from their networks, but we will share Sagiv’s photo and message. Proud of you🇮🇱🎗️

at 13, he became a bar mitzvah.
at 17, he became the first practicing orthodox Jew to be drafted into Major League Baseball
at 19, he's now a top 30 prospect with the @dbacks
(third best farm system in baseball, according to @MLBPipeline)
Just 19 years old, the newest addition to the D-backs' Top 30 Prospects list has already struck out Manny Machado and Jeremy Peña.
