A new appeal submitted to the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) by international law experts has garnered considerable attention. More than 30 international law experts have called on Israel and its football clubs to be suspended from all competitions due to the violence in Gaza. This call was made in a letter sent to UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
The letter emphasizes the results of an investigation conducted by the United Nations. The report confirmed that Israel is carrying out genocide against the Palestinian people. After this was announced to the public, the lawyers spoke about the need to impose strong sanctions against Israel. The report notes that Israel's current policies and practices violate international law and contradict fair norms in the world.
Experts called on UEFA and its members to respect international law and demanded an immediate ban on Israeli football. This appeal received great attention from football fans and lawyers around the world. International organizations and football teams, striving to separate sports from politics, support Israel's exclusion from competitions due to such violence.
