flag Dozens urge UEFA to suspend Israel from football over human rights abuses and alleged genocide in Gaza.

flag Dozens of athletes and human rights groups have urged UEFA to suspend Israel from international football, citing alleged human rights abuses, including violence in Gaza, destruction of sports infrastructure, and the inclusion of teams from illegal West Bank settlements. flag In a letter to UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, they argued that Israel’s actions may constitute genocide and apartheid, referencing UN findings and over 69,000 Palestinian deaths, including 421 footballers. flag The call follows similar actions by Ireland and Turkey, and draws parallels to past suspensions of apartheid South Africa and Russia, urging UEFA to uphold international law and moral standards.
