Regarding the current visit to the region by Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, senior members of the Trump administration’s peace team, Jibril Rajoub, head of the Palestinian Football Association, told a reporter that Ramallah will continue to boycott US officials until they recognize the PA’s terms. “Kushner Mushner has to recharge the batteries and recognize reality that we are under occupation,” he said.
The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is currently launching disciplinary proceedings against Rajoub for alleged incitement after he exerted pressure on Argentina’s national football team to cancel a friendly match against Israel’s team in Jerusalem.
