Madrid (Spain), 15 May (LaPresse) – Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has defended the young Barcelona forward, Lamine Yamal, after he was criticised by the Israeli government for waving a Palestinian flag during the Blaugrana’s celebrations for winning the Spanish league title. "Anyone who believes that waving a country’s flag amounts to ‘inciting hatred’ has either lost their mind or is blinded by their own ignominy. Lamine simply expressed the solidarity with Palestine felt by millions of Spaniards. All the more reason to be proud of him,” the Spanish Prime Minister wrote on X. Yesterday, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz criticised the young Barcelona star, accusing him of inciting hatred.
