FIFA rejected the Palestinian Football Association's request to suspend Israel from the organization but decided to investigate claims of discrimination against clubs in the West Bank. Following the decision, a UN expert panel called on FIFA to ban Israel
The PFA had submitted a proposal to suspend Israel in May, with FIFA ordering an urgent legal evaluation and promising to address it at an extraordinary meeting of its council in July.
A legal analysis calls for Israel's ban from football for violating FIFA statutes amid Gaza war; PFA proposal supported by Asian Football Confederation.
