According to football journalist Ma Dexing's Weibo, FIFA will vote on whether to expel the Israeli Football Federation.

On May 17 at 10 a.m. Beijing time, the 74th FIFA Congress will be held in Bangkok, Thailand. Ma Dexing said that one of the main items on the agenda of the FIFA congress was whether to expel the Israeli Football Federation. After the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Palestinian Football Federation demanded that FIFA expel the Israeli Football Federation. It is reported that at this meeting, FIFA has agreed to the voting of representatives of the Palestinian Football Federation.

Previously, in March this year, the Palestinian Football Federation had already appealed to FIFA for immediate sanctions against Israel.

Proposal by the Palestinian Football Federation

1. Immediately and appropriately sanction Israeli teams, including national and club teams, as violations of international law by Israel's occupation of Palestine, and in particular the occupation of Gaza.

2. Immediately resolve FIFA's violation of the FIFA Constitution, Israel's violation of the inclusion of football teams located inside Palestine in its national league.

3. To address the issue of discrimination and racism, all of Gaza's football infrastructure has either been destroyed or severely damaged, including the historic Yarmouk Stadium, which was turned into a concentration camp by Israeli occupation.

The proposal will be voted on at the 74th FIFA Congress, and the Football Associations of Algiers, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Yemen, Iraq and other countries have expressed their support for the proposal.
