I would like to see Israelis football players play here in Kuwait, because I love football, but I blame FIFA for ignoring my wishes, I really I don't blame the tribal oil sheikhs in the GCC states when they removed Israel from the list , but FIFA to listen to the Arabs' call , and not mine .

Israel’s soccer association said Tuesday that Palestinian soccer officials are “injecting politics into sports” by calling on FIFA to suspend the Jewish state from world football.
The Palestinian proposal features in FIFA’s published agenda for its election congress on May 29.
Ofer Eini, president of Israel’s FA, said Tuesday it has done its best to assist Palestinian soccer, but that many issues were beyond its control and needed to be resolved at a political level.
He said the Palestinian proposal “is completely contrary to FIFA’s vision” and could set a dangerous precedent for other countries involved in conflicts.
The Palestinians say Israel restricts movement of players in the West Bank and Gaza. Israel has cited security concerns, especially regarding movement in and out of Gaza, ruled by the terror group Hamas.
