Multiple Israeli officials slammed the Real Madrid soccer team for hosting convicted terrorist Ahed Tamimi after she was pictured being presented a Jersey by Emilio Butragueno, the club's former striker and now director of institutional relations.
In a post on Twitter Daniel Kutner, Israel's ambassador to Spain, wrote:
"Ahed Tamimi does not fight for peace, she defends violence and terror, the institutions that have received and celebrated her indirectly encourage aggression and not the dialogue and understanding that we need."
The spokesperson for Israel's foreign minister, Emmanuel Nahshon, described the apparent welcome Real Madrid gave Tamimi as "shameful", describing her as "a terrorist inciting to hatred and violence".
