FIFA, the international authority that organizes world football matches, has postponed its decision on the Palestinian request to ban Israel during the Gaza war.
So far, no clear decision on whether to impose a ban on Israel or not has come from FIFA. FIFA says that we should hold legal consultations before calling a meeting in July to decide on the Palestinian proposal to suspend Israel from international matches.
President PFA Jibril Rajab says that we demand that FIFA stands on the right side of history, if not now, when will it happen? FIFA cannot afford to remain indifferent to the attacks on Gaza and the ongoing genocide in Palestine, on which FIFA is expected to make a decision.
The Palestinian Football Association (PFA) has accused the Israeli Football Association (IFA) of violating FIFA rules due to its involvement in the Gaza war, which FIFA president Gianni Infantino has ruled on. But informed about the progress of FIFA.
During his address to the delegates of the 211 member associations, PFA President Jibril Rajab said that FIFA cannot remain indifferent to the violations of its rules or the ongoing genocide in Palestine. The FIFA president said that we will order an independent legal consultation while we will hold an extraordinary meeting until July 25.
