FIFA president Gianni Infantino wrote to the Israel and Palestine football federations on Friday, offering his condolences over the “horrendous violence” in the past week in a conflict that has taken over 2,700 lives and injured thousands more so far.
In the letter first reported by Sky News, Infantino and world football’s governing body called for “the immediate end of hostilities and for the immediate relief of the suffering of the people of both Israel and Palestine,” and said football can be a “vehicle for peace.”
