Claudine Keane has voiced her family’s unease following negative online responses to her husband Robbie Keane’s past association with the Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv. Sharing her thoughts on social media, she indicated that such backlash has made her family feel ‘uncomfortable’ and ‘intimidated’ in Ireland. Despite the criticism, she defended her husband’s dedication to Irish football and questioned the politicization of his career. Robbie Keane, who recently stepped down from Maccabi, had previously been invited to an Irish team event, renewing scrutiny over his role amid ongoing tensions in the region.
