Palestine FA chief hits out at Israel federation VP at FIFA Congress

At the 76th FIFA Congress, Palestinian FA president Jibril Rajoub refused to move closer to Israel FA Vice-President Basim Sheikh Suliman despite FIFA President Gianni Infantino's invitation. Palestinian FA Vice President Susan Shalabi stated that Rajoub could not shake hands with Suliman, calling him a person used to whitewash Israeli fascism and genocide. Infantino later expressed a desire to work together to give hope to children, but Shalabi criticized this attempt, saying it contradicted Rajoub's speech on Palestinian rights.
