« There is a legal and moral imperative to take every measure possible to end the genocide in Gaza now ».
A group of nine experts from the United Nations has sent an statement asking FIFA and UEFA, the governing bodies of football in the world and in Europe, to suspend Israel national team from international competitions, « as a necessary response to address the ongoing genocide in the occupied Palestinian territory ».
The experts refer to an study by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory (including East Jerusalem and Israel) on September 16, that found that Israel is committing genocide, a study that adds to the growing number of international bodies that have been calling it a genocide.
