FIFA President Gianni Infantino wrote to the presidents of the Palestinian and Israeli Football Federations on Friday calling for “the immediate end of hostilities”.
The letter was sent to Moshe Shino Zuares, head of Israel’s FA and Jibril Rajoub, the president of the Palestinian FA. The letter came six days after Hamas gunmen burst through the heavily militarised border around the Gaza Strip and killed more than 1,300 people — most of them civilians. “Of course, we know that football cannot solve the problems of the World, but it can play even a small part in bringing a light of hope where there appears to be only darkness ahead,” Infantino wrote.
