A DECISION on whether or not to suspend Israel from international football is set to be taken by the Fifa Council on Thursday.

A proposal to suspend the Israeli federation was first proposed by the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) in April and raised at the Fifa Congress the following month.

The PFA cited breaches of the global football governing body’s rules. Israel rejected the allegations contained in the proposal.
