Upon his return to Kafr Qasim, players from opponent Maccabi Jaffa refused to shake Taha's hand prior to a match. Israel's Minister for Sport and Culture Miki Zohar also declared, "a player in the national league in Israel came to play in the uniform of the Palestinian national team - as if it were a matter of course. This is an event that cannot be ignored. A player who plays in the national league of the State of Israel cannot represent an entity that does not recognize its right to exist."
