United States of America –The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation “Kan” sparked a widespread wave of anger on social media platforms, after media outlets and users circulated a video clip of Moroccan star Ismail Saibari, accompanied by phrases that many considered offensive and carrying racist overtones, in an incident that sparked angry reactions within Moroccan sports circles.
According to what was reported by the Arabic channel i24NEWS, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation published a clip of the Moroccan national team player during the 2026 World Cup competitions, which included a description that sparked widespread dissatisfaction, as followers considered that the phrases used exceeded the limits of sports commentary and entered the framework of personal abuse.
The incident quickly spread on various social media platforms, with Ismail Sibari’s name topping the lists of the most frequently discussed topics, amid demands to respect athletes and refrain from speeches that affect their dignity or carry discriminatory implications, especially during international tournaments that enjoy wide public follow-up.
A number of activists considered that what happened was inconsistent with the ethics of media work, calling for the need for media institutions to adhere to professionalism and refrain from any descriptions that might be understood as abuse or incitement, regardless of the nature of the sports competition.
This incident comes at a time when Ismail Saibari continues to perform at remarkable levels in the Moroccan national team’s jersey in the 2026 World Cup finals, where he is receiving wide praise thanks to his distinguished performance and contribution to the “Atlas Lions” journey in the tournament.
