Reporter: Israel is unlikely to be banned at present, UEFA lacks relevant regulations and legal tools

September 21 According to reporter Uri Levy, Israel is unlikely to be suspended this week.

Uri Levy pointed out on social media that the possibility of UEFA ban on Israel this week is very low, according to UEFA's sources and information provided by Qatari people involved in European football. Even if the Executive Committee votes, UEFA currently has no relevant regulations and legal tools to impose sanctions on Israel.

Despite reports that voices calling for a suspension of Israeli qualifications are growing, sources stressed that the suspension similar to that encountered by Russia is not realistic at the current stage, and in addition to the completely different backgrounds, UEFA's internal voting and legal procedures are also different. UEFA internal sources said that while some people are looking forward to a major outcome of the vote, don't expect it. A Qatar source said that although Qatar does have some influence in the top European football leaders, news about Qatar's push for the ban comes mainly from within Israel. Qatar is not a UEFA member and it cannot forcefully push for a ban on Israel or any other UEFA member state.

Therefore, while there are indeed calls for a suspension of Israel's qualifications, it seems unlikely that Israel will be suspended this week. If it does happen, it may only be a sudden move with regulatory adjustments, but this rapid ban decision is not realistic.
