UEFA suspends all matches in Israel 'until further notice'

The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) announced on Thursday the suspension of any matches it organizes in Israel "until further notice," in light of the ongoing conflict between the Israeli state and Hamas.

UEFA clarified in a statement that, "After a comprehensive evaluation of the current safety and security situation in Israel, the Executive Committee of the Union of European Football Associations has decided not to hold any UEFA competitive matches in Israel until further notice."
