A few days ago, the Moroccan national team players celebrated their qualification for the quarter-finals of the World Cup after defeating the Spanish national team in penalties, raising the Palestinian flag in the Education City stadium.

Since the start of the World Cup, the Israeli media has repeatedly talked about the hostility and hatred that Israelis in Qatar face while covering the events of the world championship.

The correspondents said that they understood the extent to which "Israel" is hated in the Arab world, noting that "not only governments and rulers, but the hatred of Israel is also among the people in the street."
