Turkey has deported Israeli soccer player Sagiv Jehezkel after he referenced the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack during a game, Breitbart reported.

After scoring a goal at a Turkish national league game, Jehezkel pointed to the bandage on his left hand, which held the inscription "100 Days 7.10." Later, Turkish authorities arrested Jehezkel and began an investigation. He was charged with "inciting hatred" of Muslims.

"A judicial investigation has been initiated by Antalya Chief Public Prosecutor's Office against Israeli football player Sagiv Jehezkel for 'inciting people to hatred and hostility' due to his ugly gesture supporting Israel's massacre in Gaza after scoring a goal in the Antalyaspor-Trabzonspor Süper Lig match," Turkish Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc said, according to Reuters.

Tunc also went on to criticize Israel, labeling its campaign in Gaza as a genocide.

"I condemn the attacks of Israel, which committed crimes against humanity by committing genocide in Gaza, without regard for children or women, young or old, for more than 100 days," he said. "We will always continue to stand by the oppressed Palestinians."

Upon the deportation of Jehezkel, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said the Turks were acting as an "executive arm" of Hamas.

"The scandalous arrest of the soccer player Sagiv Jehezkel," Gallant tweeted, "is an expression of hypocrisy and ingratitude. Through its actions, Turkey serves as the executive arm of Hamas."
