Fact Check: Did Cristiano Ronaldo release a video supporting Palestine?

By MyKhel Staff

The ongoing war between Israel and Palestine has divided the world into splits. The political and religious propaganda have taken over humanity as people across all believes and community have started rallying against each other.

Amid the massive unrest in those parts, a video surfaced recently involving Cristiano Ronaldo. The video saw Cristiano Ronaldo saying something and it was being advertised as Ronaldo's message in favour of Palestine at this time of distress.

But did Cristiano Ronaldo extend his support to the people of Gaza and Palestine?

Upon checking, MyKhel can confirm the video which has been circulating in the social media claiming Ronaldo's message to Palestine is FAKE!

The related video was a message from Cristiano Ronaldo to the affected children of Syria, which dates way back to 2016. Ronaldo shared a message from his X profile on December 23, 2016 addressing the kids of Syria.

"This is for children of Syria. We know you have been suffering a lot. I am a very famous player, but you are the true heroes. Don't lose your hope, the world is with you. We care about you. I am with you," Cristiano Ronaldo said in that video.

But so far, the Portugal international hasn't spoken a word on the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

There have been football players who have shown support for Palestine though, but have faced consequences.

Mainz 05, a club from Germany has suspended their player Anwar El Ghazi after his comments on Palestine. OGC Nice, a French club has suspended their player Yousef Atal as the player spoke on support of Palestine.
