‘We are all Moroccans,’ Israeli daily writes ahead of Morocco-France semifinal

ANKARA

Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday made it clear that they are supporting Morocco ahead of the African team’s World Cup semifinal game against France.

Featuring a photo of Morocco’s Atlas Lions, the daily headlined: “We are all Moroccans.”

Responding to the headline, the French Embassy in Tel Aviv on Twitter said: “We beg to differ, Jerusalem Post. Allez les Bleus! (Go the Blues).”

Defending world champions France on Wednesday evening will face dark horses Morocco in the 2022 World Cup semifinal in Qatar’s Al Khor.

Led by Paris Saint-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi, Morocco beat European football heavyweights Portugal 1-0 last weekend to become the first African nation to reach a World Cup semifinal.

On Tuesday, Argentina claimed a 3-0 win over Croatia on Tuesday to advance to the final.
