By voicing his support, Cantona aims to raise awareness and garner international solidarity for the Palestinian cause. Watch the video below on the footballer’s instagram account.
Is there anyone left to defend these criminals? Is there anyone left who would not condemn the criminals? Are there still states that still arm these criminals? Is there anyone left who would not call this genocide? Is there anyone left who would not shed a tear in the face of such horror
As the situation in Gaza continues to escalate, the testimonies of individuals like Bisan Owda are crucial in keeping the global community informed. Cantona’s advocacy underscores the role that influential figures can play in advocating for justice and human rights.
Israel has killed more than 36,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group, Hamas, on 7 October last year.
Cantona, who is known for supporting Palestine, had most games for Manchester United in 1992-1997.
The former player is a five-time English Premier League winner. He won four Premier League titles with Manchester United and another with Leeds United.
Cantona was the French League champion in 1989 and 1991 when he was playing for Olympique Marseille.
He retired from football in 1997 when he was 30 years old.
