Human Rights Watch accuses FIFA of financially supporting Israel
Palestinian youths hold red cards and placards reading in Arabic, “Israel out of FIFA” during a demonstration against the Israel Football Federation
New York - Arab Today
Human Rights Watch said the world's football governing body, FIFA, has been sponsoring football matches played on “stolen” land in the occupied West Bank.
The New York-based rights organization made the statement in a Monday report.
“By allowing games to be contested there, world football’s governing body, FIFA, is engaging in business activity that supports Israeli settlements,” said the report.
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem al Quds, all Palestinian territories.
