Emotional Jabeur to donate prize money to Palestinians
Cancún, Mexico: An emotional Ons Jabeur said she would donate part of her WTA Finals prize money to Palestinians after avenging her Wimbledon final defeat to Marketa Vondrousova on Wednesday. After earning her first win of the week at the season-ending championships in Cancun, Tunisia’s Jabeur choked back tears as she spoke on court. “I am very happy with the win, but I haven’t been happy lately,” said the only Arabic woman to reach a Grand Slam final. “The situation in the world doesn’t make me happy,” Jabeur added as she broke down in tears, before composing herself enough to talk about the Israel-Hamas conflict. “It’s very tough seeing children, babies dying every day,” she said. “It’s heartbreaking, so I’ve decided to donate part of my prize money to help the Palestinians. “I cannot be happy with just this win, with what is happening. I’m sorry guys, it’s supposed to be about tennis, but it’s very frustrating looking at videos every day. “I’m sorry — it’s not a political message, it’s just humanity.

Mainz ‘surprised’ after El Ghazi expresses ‘no regrets’ for Israel-Gaza post
BERLIN: German Bundesliga club Mainz on Wednesday reacted with “surprise and incomprehension” after player Anwar El Ghazi said he does “not regret” statements he made on the Israel-Hamas war. The club suspended the Dutch international for a number of social media posts related to the conflict, but said Monday the player could return “soon” after he “explicitly distanced himself” from the statements. El Ghazi, however, took to social media on Wednesday, saying “I do not regret or have any remorse for my position.” “Any other statements, comments or apologies to the contrary attributed to me are not factually correct and have not been made or authorized by me.” Mainz responded to El Ghazi’s posts on Wednesday, also on social media, saying the club would “examine the matter legally and then evaluate it.” El Ghazi was suspended on October 17 for taking a “position on the conflict in the Middle East in a manner that wasn’t tolerable for the club,” Mainz said in a previous statement. He had shared several posts on social media early in the conflict, including the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” The slogan is seen by some as a call for the destruction of Israel, while others say it appeals for equality for Palestinians and Israelis. Mainz said Wednesday El Ghazi had “called in sick on Monday and was currently not in training.”
