Soccer\u2019s world governing body FIFA has postponed a decision on a Palestinian proposal to suspend Israel from international soccer tournaments until after the Olympic Games, giving Israel\u2019s men\u2019s national soccer team the opportunity to compete in the Paris Olympics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing requests for an extension from both parties to submit their respective positions, duly granted by FIFA, more time is needed to conclude this process with due care and completeness,\u201d FIFA announced<\/a> on Thursday. \u201cThe assessment will be shared with the FIFA Council for any subsequent decision to be taken no later than Aug. 31, 2024.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Palestinian Football Association (PFA) submitted a proposal in May to suspend Israel from all international soccer matches because of its military actions in the Gaza Strip as it targets Hamas terrorists responsible for the Oct. 7 deadly attacks in Israel. FIFA responded to PFA\u2019s proposal, which was backed by the Asian Football Confederation<\/a>, by o<\/span>rdering an immediate legal evaluation. The FIFA Council had originally promised<\/a> to address the matter and share insight from its independent legal assessment by Saturday, which is just four days before the start of the Olympic soccer tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Paris Olympics will be held from July 26 \u2013 Aug. 11 and group matches for the men\u2019s soccer tournament start on July 24. Israel is set to play Mali, Paraguay, and Japan in the group phase. The men\u2019s Olympic soccer final is scheduled to take place on Aug. 9.<\/span><\/p>\n

The PFA said<\/a> it received a letter from FIFA on Thursday about the postponement. The PFA said it wanted clarification from FIFA regarding its process for the legal assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFIFA\u2019s letter did not indicate the mechanism by which the independent legal opinion will be dealt with by the Council when it is presented to it,\u201d the PFA said in a statement on Friday, adding that it \u201chas previously addressed the International Federation more than once asking for clarifications regarding this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A group of lawyers who specialize in international law and human rights also urged<\/a> FIFA to ban Israel this week, claiming that the Jewish state has violated several of FIFA\u2019s statutes related to human rights and humanitarian objectives because of its \u201cconduct in Palestine\u201d during the ongoing war in Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n
