Football organizations are considering calling a vote because of the situation in Israel.
UEFA is considering the possibility of a vote on the suspension of European competitions by Israel following the proliferation of requests for action by national federations and the United Nations. UN experts this week called for Israel to be excluded from international football.
Themeasure would create a conflict with the United States, which will organise the 2026 World Cup, and warned that it will oppose the attempt to exclude Israel.
The president of the Palestinian Football Association, Jibril Rajoub, has called for sanctions: "Israel has violated the principles, values and statutes of FIFA, so I think it should be punished."
Next month, Israel will face Norway and Italy in the qualifying phase for the World Cup. The Israeli federation has indicated that they have no record of a possible suspension and are still in preparation for these matches.
The Norwegian Football Federation has asked to examine the case at UEFA. Its chairman, Lise Klaveness, a member of the organization's Executive Committee, has denounced the "disproportionate attacks" in Gaza and has announced that the benefits of the next qualifying meeting against Israel will be given to an NGO working there.
The Dutch Federation, for its part, has stated that it does not know whether there will be a vote and that, if confirmed, it will take an official position.
