July 18 – On the eve of a scheduled extraordinary FIFA council meeting to decide the fate of Israel’s immediate future in international football, human rights and pressure groups have called on the world governing body to suspend the country from the international game.
At the FIFA Congress in Bangkok, Thailand, in May, the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) demanded that the Israel Football Association (IFA) be suspended from football because of the war in Gaza.
