No handshakes between Republic of Ireland and Israel players before Nations League game - BBC Sport

Ireland and Israel players did not shake hands before their UEFA Nations League match in Hungary. Ireland wore black armbands in memory of Gaza conflict victims, and goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu withdrew from the game, feeling it was wrong to participate. Irish players were jeered by a small number of Israeli fans, amid ongoing political tensions. Irish coach Heimir Hallgrimsson described the week as highly challenging for the team due to the intense scrutiny and circumstances.
