FIFA agreed today to seek legal advice on Palestine’s proposal to suspend Israel from international soccer.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino outlined the plan to 211 member federations after Palestinian and Israeli football officials spoke at the governing body’s annual congress in Bangkok.

“Now, due to the obvious sensitivity of these matters, Fifa will mandate as of now independent legal expertise to analyse and assess the three requests made by the Palestinian Football Association and ensure that the statutes and regulations of Fifa are applied in the correct way in order to ensure a fair and due process,” Infantino said.
