Palestine FA chief hits out at Israel federation VP at FIFA Congress

FIFA President Gianni Infantino attempted to have Palestinian football federation president Jibril Rajoub and Israel FA Vice-President Basim Suliman shake hands at the 76th FIFA Congress. However, Rajoub declined, citing the Israeli government's actions in Gaza. Infantino then urged both men to work together, saying it was essential to give hope to children. The incident occurred after Rajoub made a plea for Israeli clubs not to base teams in West Bank settlements.
