UEFA, the European soccer governing body, is reportedly considering a vote to suspend Israel from its membership due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Sources familiar with the matter revealed to The Associated Press that a majority of UEFA’s 20-member executive committee is likely to support the suspension of Israeli teams from participating in international competitions. The decision, if taken, could impact the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers for the Israel men’s team, scheduled to play matches in Norway and Italy in the following weeks.
