Ahmed Taha (Arabic: أحمد طه, Hebrew: אחמד טאהא; born 6 June 2001) is a Palestinian Israeli professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Liga Leumit club Kafr Qasim and the Palestine national team.

International career

On 20 March 2025 made his debut in the Palestine national football team in the 1–3 loss to Jordan.

Taha's decision to represent Palestine provoked controversy in Israel. Upon his return to Kafr Qasim, players from opponent Maccabi Jaffa refused to shake Taha's hand prior to a match.[1] 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."[2]
