Egypt coach Hossam Hassan makes remarks about Palestinians during a FIFA World Cup news conference. Across reports, Hassan says that anyone who does not feel empathy for Palestinian people is “not human,” adding that the point applies regardless of nationality. He frames his comments as a call for awareness and concern about the situation in Gaza and emphasizes that people across different backgrounds should show compassion.
The outlets describe the statement as being delivered at the time of the FIFA World Cup, positioning it within a broader public and sports-related setting rather than a match-specific context. One report notes that Hassan highlights the plight of Palestinians in Gaza, while another specifies that he mentions that the view is not limited to Arabs but also includes Europeans and Americans.
All accounts present the remarks as Hassan’s personal message rather than an official statement from FIFA or Egypt. The coverage focuses on the coach’s wording and intent to encourage empathy toward Palestinians amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.
