UEFA Moves to Suspend Israel's Membership After UN Report Accuses It of Committing Genocide in Gaza

The British Times reported, citing informed sources, on Thursday that the majority of members of the Executive Committee of the European Football Association (UEFA) expressed their support for the move to suspend Israel's membership from the association's activities.

According to the report, this direction came after the results of a UN investigation concluded that Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, which prompted several European federations to pressure for a sports stance consistent with the rising international position.

If officially approved, this step would be a precedent in the history of the European Football Association and could open the door to wide-ranging implications for the participation of Israeli clubs and national teams in continental tournaments, including the Champions League and major tournament qualifiers.
