Argentina v Israel World Cup warm-up cancelled

Now why would Bibi think he could get the President of Argentina to intervene?

The Palestinian FA – which had called on Argentina to pull out of the game – said in a statement that the friendly had been called off.

It said: “The president of the Palestinian Federation of Football General Gabriel Rajoub confirmed that the Argentine Football Federation cancelled his game with Israel’s team... on the land of Jerusalem, as a result of the efforts of the Palestinians with the assistance of regional and international federations.

I have met people from both groups. I really hope no sports team or other international body does anything in Jerusalem until it become a city under international administration.
