Canadian protesters demand Israel's expulsion from FIFA

Protesters in Canada, one of the host nations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, have called for the expulsion of Israel from the international football governing body. The demonstrations took place in several Canadian cities, with activists condemning Israel's actions in Gaza and urging FIFA to take a stand.

The protesters argue that Israel's military operations in Gaza violate international law and human rights, and that allowing Israel to participate in FIFA events contradicts the organization's principles of fairness and inclusivity. They have called on FIFA to suspend Israel's membership until it complies with international norms.

Canada is set to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside the United States and Mexico. The protests highlight growing international pressure on sports organizations to address political conflicts. Similar calls have been made in other countries, with activists demanding that FIFA take a stronger stance on human rights issues.

According to Mehr News Agency, the protesters in Canada have organized rallies and online campaigns to amplify their message. They have also urged the Canadian government to use its influence within FIFA to push for Israel's expulsion. The situation remains ongoing, with no official response from FIFA or the Canadian government at this time.
