The official X account for the State of Palestine mocked Israel and Argentina after Spain defeated Argentina in the Fifa World Cup. The Palestinian account reposted an image of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had publicly supported Argentina, receiving a football and shirt from the Argentinian ambassador, juxtaposed with a picture of the Spanish winners. Netanyahu and Argentinian President Javier Milei share a close relationship, with Milei stating he was "proud to be the most Zionist president in the world." Conversely, Spain has been critical of Israel, with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez accusing Israel of committing genocide. The article also notes growing backlash against Israel's participation in sporting tournaments due to its military campaign in Gaza, and efforts by the Palestinian Football Association to suspend Israel from tournaments.
