Fortuna Düsseldorf have announced that they will no longer transfer Israeli international Shon Weissman after the striker expressed support for the Israeli army's actions in Gaza. Although Weissman has passed his medical, his previous comments, including extreme demands related to Gaza, have sparked anger from fans. He admitted that he reacted emotionally and deleted the posts, but the club did not say whether his decision was influenced by supporters' reactions. The war in Gaza has had a devastating impact, with significant casualties on both sides.
