UEFA Plans Vote to Suspend Israel Over Gaza Conflict

News summary

UEFA is preparing to vote on suspending Israel from European football competitions due to ongoing conflict in Gaza and allegations of genocide by a UN commission. This potential suspension would exclude Israel's national team and clubs from international play, including the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The decision, supported by several UEFA member federations, faces political complexity because FIFA President Gianni Infantino has close ties with U.S. President Donald Trump, whose administration opposes any ban on Israel. Pro-Palestinian groups and UN experts have intensified pressure on UEFA and FIFA to take action, following recent violence and deaths in Gaza. The vote is expected soon, with FIFA's council meeting next week, though it remains uncertain if FIFA will back the suspension. Israel currently remains active in competitions but faces increasing isolation within international soccer.
