Israeli football player Sagiv Jehezkel left Turkey on Monday, hours after he was briefly detained for allegedly inciting hatred after he expressed solidarity with people held hostage by the Hamas militant organisation during a top-flight league game.

The Antalyaspor player was released from custody following questioning by police and court officials, a Turkish official said.
