UK Petition Surges to 25K Demanding Israel's Ban from Football

A wave of outrage has swept across England as tens of thousands of people have signed a bold petition.

Hawzah News Agency- The call? To ban Israel from international football, fuelled by deep dissatisfaction with the country's actions in Gaza. It's not just a whisper - it's a roar that can't be ignore

Not stopping there, the movement is also seeking to cancel the upcoming UEFA Europa League match between and Maccabi Tel Aviv, scheduled for Thursday. Having collected 25,000 signatures, the petition was officially handed over to the Football Association right outside the iconic Wembley Stadium. Here's the statement.

Lewis Bacon, director of the group behind the initiative, stood firm on the steps of Wembley as he handed over the document. His stance was adamant: teams from a state accused of genocide and apartheid have no place in such a competition, in his opinion. There was genuine emotion in his words, a reflection of the intense passion that drives this cause.
