FIFA has postponed a decision on whether to temporarily suspend Israel due to its actions in Gaza and the West Bank. The Palestinian Football Association submitted a motion citing violations of international law and FIFA's statutes. FIFA's president announced an extraordinary meeting to address the situation. The Palestinian soccer body has long sought sanctions against Israel over various issues. FIFA will seek legal expertise before making a decision in two months, while Israel's soccer chief criticized the motion as "cynical." The matter has drawn international attention, with Asian soccer's governing body unanimously supporting the Palestinian federation's motion.
