According to Sport, following Israel's 0-3 defeat to Ireland, Israel captain Manor Solomon made comments about the situation in Gaza and could face a potential suspension.
Ireland defeated Israel 3-0 with goals from Parrott, Idah, and Moylan, but the match was overshadowed by the situation in Gaza and protests from several Irish players. The Irish players refused to shake hands with Israeli players, bowed their heads during the opposing national anthem, and wore black armbands in solidarity with those affected by the situation in Palestine.
After scoring, Moylan kissed his armband in support of those affected by the situation in Palestine. Before the match, goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu was absent in protest against the atrocities in the region, forcing Ireland to field outfield player Jimmy Dunne as third goalkeeper to meet UEFA registration requirements.
Tension persisted throughout the match. After Jack O'Brien raised the situation in Gaza with the Israeli captain, Solomon responded: "Say it to my face, don't hide behind a wall." After the match, the West Ham United forward expressed dissatisfaction with the situation and made controversial comments.
In an interview with Israeli television channel Sport5, Solomon stated: "If I said what I really think of them, I'd probably be suspended for several matches. It's clear they hate us, and we don't like them either."
Solomon also defended his country, saying: "Our country is 10 times better than theirs, stronger, a great country with great people."
Israel will next play against Kosovo and Austria. During the November international break, Israel will play away against Kosovo and host Austria to complete their UEFA Nations League group stage matches, with no matches played in their home country.
