Controversies | • Cockpit Controversy In October 2019, he posted a video online where he was seen sitting in the co-pilot's seat during a private flight to Saudi Arabia. In the video his hands were seen on the control wheel and a voice off camera remarked Mohamed Ramadan is the one driving the plane. This act violated Egyptian aviation regulations, which prohibits passengers from entering the cockpit during flight. Thereafter, the Civil Aviation Authority cancelled the licence of the pilot named Captain Ashraf Aboul -Yousr and banned him for life. The other pilot was suspended for a year. Later, Ashraf Aboul -Yousr filed a case against Ramadan and wanted a compensation for the damages faced by him due to the incident. In June 2021, Ramadan's bank accounts were frozen by Egyptian Public Prosecution and he had to pay £E6 million in compensation to the family of Aboul -Yousr as he died a year ago. ((BBC)) • Accused of being a Zionist In November 2020, Ramadan landed into a controversy after the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affair posted few photos where Ramadan was seen with Arab-Israeli footballer Dia Saba and Israeli singer Omer Adam in a rooftop party in Dubai. Thereafter, Ramadan received hatred from the Arab world especially in Egypt. Egyptian journalist and MP Mustafa Bakry criticized Ramadan for going against the Palestinian cause. The incident took place after several months of signing the normalisation deal between United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. The Union of Artistic Syndicates in Egypt suspended his membership for the same reason and a soap opera featuring him was cancelled. Thereafter, Ramadan stated that he was unaware of the nationalities of the individuals he was photographed with. ((The Guardian)) • Controversy regarding a photo with an Israeli Fan In August 2022, Ramadan posted a photo on his TikTok account with his arm around an Israeli fan named Maya Zecharia who was vacationing on the Greek island of Mykonos. This photo went viral on social media and received backlash in Egypt and Arab world. Critics accused him for promoting normalization with Israel after the formal peace treaty with Israel since 1979. This news was widely covered in Egyptian media such as Al-Masry Al-Youm. Thereafter, Ramadan did not react to the accusations and interacted with the criticism on social media with humour. ((The New Arab)) • Accused for meeting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas In May 2023, Ramadan had a meeting with the president of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas. Later, he posted photos with him on his Instagram handle and stated in the caption that he was honoured to meet Mr. President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen in New York. This post received both positive and negative criticism from the critics. ((Egypt Independent)) • Controversy regarding the Character's Name In October 2023, he stated in a video on his Instagram account that his character in a television series would be named Abu Obaida after the spokesperson for the Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades from the military wing of Hamas. This announcement led to criticism among viewers as using they thought using the name of a militant can have severe consequences. ((Sada Elbalad english)) |
