Turkish authorities have detained Israeli footballer Sagiv Jehezkel for questioning after he displayed solidarity with people held hostage by Hamas during a top-flight league game.

The Israeli international, who plays for Antalyaspor, is under investigation over possible charges of “openly inciting the public to hatred and hostility”, justice minister Yilmaz Tunc said.
