FIFA Delays Decision on Palestinian Proposal

FIFA has postponed a decision on a Palestinian proposal to suspend Israel from international soccer due to the conflict with Hamas, allowing the Israeli men's national team to participate in the Paris Olympics. The decision was delayed to ensure completeness, with the final verdict expected after the Olympics. The Israel Football Association announced that goalkeeper Daniel Peretz will miss the Olympics due to a muscle tendon injury. Despite the setback, Israel is set to compete in a group with Japan, Mali, and Paraguay during the Olympic soccer tournament.
