Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, stated on Thursday that football “cannot solve geopolitical problems” as he is under increasing pressure to suspend Israel over the Palestinian conflict.

Infantino, the world’s governing body, stated in a statement that Infantino stressed the importance of promoting peace and unity, particularly given the current state of Gaza, at a meeting of the FIFA Council.

According to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza, at least 65 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli military operations in Gaza for almost two years, a figure that the UN considers accurate.
