"Calls for Israel's suspension from European football have been renewed a day after the ceasefire in Gaza came into effect and as the Israeli team has resumed its qualification campaign for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The human rights campaign group Game Over Israel urged UEFA on Saturday to suspend Israel until it ends its abuses against Palestinians."
"Even if bombs and bullets stop, genocide is a crime against humanity and perhaps the gravest crime a state or project can commit, Prashar told Al Jazeera. Remember what Europe did after World War II. Nazi Germany was suspended from football, and the Nuremberg trials took place. Game Over Israel has been using billboards in major cities across the world to drive home that message. The latest billboard was revealed in Milan and addressed to UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin. Israel is committing genocide. Suspend Israel now. It's your moral obligation, it said."
Calls for Israel's suspension from European football were renewed after a Gaza ceasefire and as Israel resumed its 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Game Over Israel urged UEFA to suspend Israel until it ends abuses against Palestinians. Campaigners argued Israel has no place in international football given actions in Gaza described by rights groups and UN investigators as genocide. Campaign billboards appeared in major cities, including Milan, and a full-page Los Angeles Times ad repeated the message. Activists compared the situation to post-World War II actions against Nazi Germany and demanded a full Israeli boycott across football.
