The Palestinian national team expressed interest in his services.

He also played for the Palestinian national team.

From 2002, Asad played several years with the Palestinian national team.

In the coming three decades, a number of games between Jewish Palestinian teams and American all-stars were played.

But it is far from clear that all the participants will show up, conspicuously the Palestinian team.

It is believed that this was the first head-to-head meeting in any peaceful competitive activity by Israeli and Palestinian teams.
