Tottenham winger Manor Solomon has reactivated his Instagram account after it was suspended due to a series of pro-Israel posts.
According to The Telegraphthe 24-year-old’s account was reinstated on Wednesday, just over a week after it was banned.
Solomon, who was born in the Israeli city of Kfar Saba, was informed of the ban after returning to his home country while recovering from an injury.
Spurs, who allowed Solomon to travel back to Israel, worked with Instagram owner Meta to reinstate the account.
A representative for the former Fulham and Shakhtar Donetsk winger said: “It’s ridiculous. He didn’t make any anti-Palestine posts, just support for his own country. It’s ridiculous. Instagram is ridiculous.”
Tottenham have backed the player’s insistence that he was not using the platform to post anti-Palestine material and only criticised the Hamas attack while supporting Israelis who had been injured and died.
The Israeli Football Association also hit out at the decision, posting a picture of Solomon on the platform with his mouth taped over and a message that read: “The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. so help you God!”
