Ahead of a Fifa council meeting today between the Israel-Palestine Monitoring Committee, 174 Palestinian clubs have sent a letter to Fifa demanding they immediately suspend the Israeli Football Association’s (IFA) membership for its inclusion of seven football clubs that are based in illegal settlements.

Fifa’s council will meet and decide on its approach at Thursday’s congress, though there is still no report in the agenda from the monitoring committee, which was initially due last October.

The committee, led by Tokyo Sexwale, has missed multiple deadlines, the last being in March, and should Fifa fail to act against the settlement clubs it risks shifting the dispute to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
