“It’s ridiculous,” one of the player’s representatives told the Telegraph.
‘He has not posted any anti-Palestinian messages, only support for his own country. It is ridiculous. Instagram is ridiculous.”
Solomon described his family’s ordeal in the aftermath of the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7.
“More than 800 Israelis have been murdered – the most in a single day since the Holocaust,” he wrote.
“More than 150 people have been kidnapped – including women, children, babies and the elderly. Thousands of missiles and rockets have been fired at innocent civilians!
‘Hamas does (and has never done) anything in favor of the Palestinian people. Hamas is a terrorist organization with one mission: to wipe out the Jews from the planet.
‘Supporting them means supporting terror, just like supporting Al Qaeda, Isis and the September 11 attacks. Israel has the right to defend itself! Pray for Israel.”
After a huge explosion killed hundreds of people in an overcrowded hospital On October 17, in Gaza City, Solomon accused Hamas of “blaming Israel” after “killing their own people.”

The Spurs midfielder shared a message from Israeli news site Mako on Instagram, with a photo of the explosion an Israeli military statement suggesting that the Al Ahli hospital explosion was caused by a “failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad.”
Under the post, the Israeli international wrote: “Killing their own people and blaming Israel,” along with two confused emojis.
Solomon also shared a message from Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who reiterated that the explosion was caused by Islamic Jihad.
“Never before has the choice been clearer,” Herzog wrote.
“Israel faces an enemy of pure evil.”
Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian militant group, denied responsibility for the attack on the hospital, which Hamas blamed on an Israeli airstrike.
Solomon is not the first footballer to get into trouble for comments on social media about the conflict in Israel and Palestine.
Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury avoided a ban from the Football Association after posting a message on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that read ‘from the river to the sea’.
The adage has a strong pro-Palestinian connotation. The former England Under-21 midfielder’s post was accompanied by a Palestinian flag emoji.
Choudhury has since apologized and deleted the post.
