Club career

[edit]

International career

[edit]

Yassin was born in Israel to Palestinian parents and holds dual Palestinian and Israeli citizenship.[1] He was called up to the Palestine national team in November 2025, and as a result his club Bnei Sakhnin controversially decided to exclude him from the first team thereafter.[2] He debuted with Palestine in a friendly 3–0 loss to the Basque Country on 16 November 2025.[3]
