Multiple outlets report that Israeli minister Yoav Galant criticises Barcelona player Lamine Yamal after the teenager posts images of himself holding a Palestinian flag on Instagram. The reports say Yamal, a Muslim footballer, shared the photos on his social media account, prompting backlash.

The sources provided do not include responses from Yamal, his club, or governing bodies, nor do they detail any formal disciplinary steps. The accounts agree on the core sequence: Yamal shares the flag image, and an Israeli minister publicly criticises him in response.
