The official account of the Israeli Foreign Ministry on Twitter, "Israel in Arabic", celebrated Sabaa's official participation with the victory, describing it as a "historical moment."

Al-Nasr club officially presented its seven player at the end of last September, who played with many Israeli clubs such as Maccabi Tel Aviv and Abuel Beersheba, and participated in 10 matches with the Israel national team.
This contract was met with a widespread attack from activists on communication sites, who blamed it for the official sporting normalization and selling the Palestinian cause.
Diaa Sabaa sold the case and took the Israeli citizenship. We don’t just know,
but he wants to play in the UAE. The UAE will be wrong, not
oil, but no money. Https://t.co/A3NDUEHCjv
