UEFA held meetings with pro-Palestinian campaign over possible Israel suspension after ceasefire

UEFA has been in ongoing discussions with the organisers of a prominent pro-Palestinian campaign regarding the possibility of suspending Israel from European football competitions. These talks, which have continued since the ceasefire in Gaza, have explored the mechanisms and legal grounds for a potential ban, with UEFA monitoring legal challenges in Ireland and Switzerland that could compel action under international law. While UEFA has so far refrained from suspending Israel, it has sought input from human rights experts and faced mounting pressure from member associations and high-profile footballers. The situation remains complex, with UEFA's leadership expressing sympathy for those affected by the conflict, but maintaining a cautious approach as legal and political developments unfold.
