Fifa, the video of Infantino’s own goal: frost between Palestine and Israel

No handshake between the Israeli and Palestinian football federations, the FIFA president’s initiative becomes a sensational own goal. Gianni Infantino, president of the World Football Federation, is looking for an impressive move on the stage of the Vancouver Congress: to announce his candidacy for the third consecutive term, he invites the president of the Palestinian Football Federation, Jibril Rajoub, and the vice-president of the Israeli federation to the stage. “I want to confirm my candidacy in next year’s FIFA presidency elections. I wanted you to be the first to know. Thank you for your encouragement and support,” says Infantino. “Allow me to thank the two representatives of Israel and Palestine, who have the same rights, duties and obligations, as members of FIFA. We will work together, we work together to give hope to children, we work together for this.”
