Gaza football photo pulled from festival
French newspapers and international media outlets widely debated after a photo documenting a football match in Gaza was removed from the "Dover Sports Images" festival and replaced with an image of cyclists, amid reports of pressure from pro-Israel advocates behind the action. The original photograph, taken by Palestinian photographer Jihad Al-Sharaafi, shows a match between Gaza Sports Club and Al-Ahli in February 2026, alongside destroyed buildings resulting from the war. The Dover municipality expressed a desire to avoid controversy, confirming that the removal was based on requests from unspecified parties. This decision sparked widespread criticism, as the original image depicted both the aftermath of destruction and the hope embodied by the players' continued efforts.
