Fans of Turkish football team Galatasaray unfurled a giant “Free Palestine” banner yesterday during their clash with English club Tottenham during the UEFA Europa League.

Two giant banners were unveiled; one read “Free Palestine, the other read “Palestinian Genocide and “Let Gaza babies live”.

Videos also showed the Turkish club fans chanting “Down with Israel, Free Palestine.”

Earlier this Week, fans of French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) raised a giant banner at a UEFA Champions League game against Atletico Madrid.

In response, the French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said it was “unacceptable”.

When asked if the team would face any sanctions for their pro-Palestine act, Retailleau told Sud Radio: “I am not ruling out anything. I will demand explanations from PSG.”

The act of solidarity comes days before France is set to face “Israel” in a UEFA Nations League game on Nov. 14 in Stade de France.

The banner showed the Dome of the Rock in front of Palestinian flag, with a masked man wearing a Keffiyeh raising his hand. It also showed the full map of Palestine, along with the Lebanese flag.
