The Manchester United legend takes a firm stance.
Another global football star has spoken out in favor of Israel’s suspension.
Details: A video on social media platform X shows Manchester United legend Eric Cantona with former Palestinian player Mahmoud Sarsak at a Together 4 Palestine concert in London. Cantona expressed his support for Palestine and called for Israel’s national team to be banned from all sporting events:
“FIFA and UEFA suspended Russia four days after the invasion of Ukraine. It’s been 716 days since the genocide began, and Israel is still playing. It’s time to suspend Israel,” Cantona stated.
Previously, both the Spanish and Italian football federations had also called for Israel’s suspension.
Reminder: World Cup 2026 is under threat: Spain may boycott the tournament. What’s the reason?
