Liverpool\u2019s Mohamed Salah has criticized UEFA for omitting the circumstances of Palestinian football legend Suleiman Al-Obeid\u2019s death, after the governing body paid tribute without noting that he was reportedly killed in an Israeli strike while waiting for aid in Gaza. According to the Palestine Football Association, Al-Obeid, 41, died when Israeli forces targeted civilians gathered for humanitarian aid in southern Gaza on Wednesday. In a brief post on X, UEFA described the former national team player as \u201ca talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times.\u201d Salah replied: \u201cCan you tell us how he died, where, and why?\u201d UEFA has not yet responded to the remarks. One of the Premier League\u2019s biggest stars, the 33-year-old Egyptian Salah, has previously called for humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza during the nearly two-year-long war. The United Nations says more than 1,000 people have been killed near aid distribution sites and aid convoys in Gaza since the launch of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US- and Israel-backed aid delivery system, in late May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
