Tottenham Apologizes for Blocking Accounts Over Manor Solomon Wedding Post Amid Israel-Iran Conflict

Tottenham Hotspur apologized for an 'error of judgment' after their social media team manually blocked several X accounts that replied to a post about Israeli player Manor Solomon's wedding, which also referenced the Israel-Hamas conflict. While some replies contained abuse towards Solomon, others merely expressed opinions related to the Middle East conflict and did not meet the club's threshold for malicious communication. Following an internal review, Tottenham unblocked the accounts and committed to reviewing their internal procedures to prevent similar mistakes. The club emphasized its stance against abuse and discrimination, affirming its support for peace, acceptance, and diversity within its community and fanbase. Solomon, who recently married in Israel and is currently stranded there due to airspace closures amid regional tensions, remains under contract with Spurs and is expected to play a prominent role in the team this season. The incident highlights the challenges football clubs face in moderating social media amidst politically sensitive issues involving their players.
