UEFA meets with organisers of pro-Palestinian campaign calling for Israel’s exclusion

UEFA has held a meeting with pro-Palestinian campaign groups to discuss the potential suspension of the Israeli national team and its clubs.

Details: According to The Athletic, senior UEFA officials and pro-Palestinian campaign representatives discussed Israel’s participation under UEFA’s umbrella. The UN ruled in The Hague that Israel’s actions constitute genocide, and the following day the campaign “Game Over Israel” was launched.

At the end of September, UEFA came close to suspending Israel and its clubs, but the discussion was postponed after the United States helped broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Reminder: FIFA president Gianni Infantino, the 55-year-old Swiss official, recently shared his views on the ongoing Israel-Palestine situation, which continues to affect global football.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he would not allow Israel’s national team to be excluded from the World Cup should they qualify.
