FIFA has sanctioned the Israeli FA with a fine and an “action plan” after a complaint by the Palestine FA.
But when it comes to Israeli clubs in illegal settlements, it avoids action calling the West Bank “disputed.”

Let’s talk about FIFA’s “sanctions” on the Israeli FA:
– ~150,000 CHF fine
– An “action plan”
– Anti-discrimination messaging
For a national federation, this is negligible. FIFA has imposed far harsher sanctions elsewhere. An absolute joke.

@FIFAcom, this is a football issue.
Your own rules on territorial integrity are clear and so is international law:
UN Resolution 2334 (2016), ICJ Opinion (2004).
Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank of Palestine are illegal and so are the clubs operating in them.
