Palestinian Football Federation sues Israel over athlete deaths
The Palestinian Football Association has formally filed a complaint with FIFA, the European Federation, and the Asian Federation against Israel, following allegations made against 12 Palestinian athletes who were killed in Gaza. Among those killed are an international referee and 11 football players, accused of belonging to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Islamic Jihad. The Palestinian Association denounced these allegations, deeming them baseless and lacking any legal procedures, and asserting that they unjustly infringe on individuals' rights. Since the start of the assault on Gaza on October 7, 2023, 1,013 Palestinian athletes have been killed, and 256 sports facilities have been destroyed. The association reaffirmed its demand for justice and support for the Palestinian sports community, threatening to take the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
