Activists are urging European football governing body FIFA to suspend Israel's national team from participating in competitions due to ongoing tensions in Gaza, despite a ceasefire coming into effect and resumption of the Israeli team's qualification campaign for the FIFA World Cup. The call comes as Israel continues to face international criticism over its handling of the conflict. Activists argue that suspension would be an effective way to pressure Israel to improve its human rights record and address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
