This incident occurred 13 months after the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel.

Israel’s national football team has recently been subject to a possible suspension by FIFA following complaints from the Palestine Football Association (PFA).

The PFA’s original proposal claimed that at least 92 non-professional Palestinian players had been killed in the war, football infrastructure destroyed, its leagues suspended and the national team forced to play World Cup qualifiers abroad. The Palestinian federation wanted FIFA to adopt appropriate sanctions against Israeli teams, including the national team and clubs.

FIFA ruled against banning Israel from international game after PFA proposed ban for Israel amid war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza at the beginning of this year. However, FIFA has yet to launch an investigation into the Israel Football Association (IFA) over allegations of discrimination.

In a statement previously provided to Fox News Digital by IFA Head of Communications Shlomi Barzell, the IFA condemned the PFA for its recent proposal to FIFA.

“Whoever fantasized about suspending Israeli football from the international arena or sanctions through lies and false accusations has suffered defeat,” the statement said. “Again, we have acted over time through various channels in a calculated and proactive manner in the face of the challenge of the Palestinian Association and its leader to distort reality, and today’s result leaves no room for doubt.

“We respect the authors of the report to the board members and the board members’ decision to consider moving two issues to a legal review, as long as there is some factual justification for doing so. Due to the values ​​that stand for a glorious democracy and an independent and decisive legal system of the Football Association, we have never and will not break any of the FIFA/UEFA rules.”

The PFA did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
