Palestine Pursuing Sanctions against Zionist Regime’s Football Federation
Jibril Rajoub referred to his recent refusal to shake hands with the representative of the Zionist occupation regime at FIFA, saying it reflects a political and moral approach.
He emphasized that what happened reflects the belief that normalizing sports with a party that justifies targeting Palestinian civilians is unacceptable.
Rajoub also said that signs of a kind of isolation around the Israeli representative have been observed in some circles, which indicates a gradual change in the international atmosphere, although it has not yet led to practical decisions.
He further emphasized that legal pursuits to suspend and impose sanctions against the Israeli football federation will continue until double standards in the international arena end.
