Israel’s participation in football has not been included on the agenda for a Fifa council meeting to be held in Zurich on Thursday.
The meeting of Fifa’s main decision-making body comes amid mounting pressure on football authorities to sanction Israel after a United Nations commission of inquiry concluded last month that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Although the issue is not on the agenda, it could be discussed under ‘miscellaneous’.
BBC Sport has contacted Fifa to ask if Israel’s participation in international football will be discussed.
Israel’s national team are currently participating in European qualifiers for next summer’s men’s World Cup, while Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv are playing in the Europa League.
Amnesty International is the latest body to urge Fifa, which organises the World Cup, and Uefa, and European competitions, to suspend the Israeli Football Association (IFA) from their tournaments.
Fifa vice-president Victor Montagliani has said Uefa should make the decision.
“First and foremost, [Israel] is a member of Uefa, no different than I have to deal with a member of my region for whatever reason. They have to deal with that,” he said.
