The player himself has made a statement on the matter since being dismissed by the club. El Ghazi noted that "the loss of my livelihood is nothing compared to the hell inflicted on the innocent people in Ghaza." El Ghazi's presumed lawyer, Alexander Bergweiler, has also told the Mainzer newspaper that he believed his client's social media posts on the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be covered by free speech.
