Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has come under criticism from Jewish community leaders after referring to a 'genocide in Palestine' during remarks about global conflicts. Guardiola made the comments ahead of a match against Newcastle United and had previously shown support for Palestinians at a charity concert in Barcelona. The Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester responded by urging Guardiola to focus on soccer and be more mindful of his language, expressing concerns that such statements could fuel antisemitic acts. The group also criticized Guardiola for not showing solidarity with Manchester's Jewish community following a recent terror attack on a local synagogue.
