Who was Sulejman El-Baid, nicknamed “Pele of Palestine”
Sulejman El-Baid had won the golfer trophy of the three seasons in a row, playing for the Kadamat club. It became a legend of this band after refusing to leave the relegation from the first league, in 2022. In the next season, he managed to restore the Kadamat band to the first division.
Sulejman El-Baid is the third member of the national Palestine team killed in the armed conflict with Israel. Before him, they lost their lives Moujin al-Maghibi and Mohamed Barakat.
Ever since Israel started his reprisals in Gaza after October 7, 2023, when the Hamas organization has kidnapped and killed more Israeli citizens. Since then, the balance of victims in Gaza has grown vertiginously, reaching 61,158 killed Palestinians and 151,442 injured, most of them children and women.
