Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday made it clear that they are supporting Morocco ahead of the African team’s World Cup semifinal game against France.
Featuring a photo of Morocco's Atlas Lions, the daily headlined: “We are all Moroccans.”
Responding to the headline, the French Embassy in Tel Aviv on Twitter said: "We beg to differ, Jerusalem Post. Allez les Bleus! (Go the Blues).”
