Palestinian Media Watch and the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs have jointly filed a complaint with FIFA, seeking the expulsion of Jibril Rajoub for promoting hatred and inciting violence.

The article from Palestinian Media Watch outlines three primary arguments in the complaint against Jibril Rajoub:

  1. Promotion of Hatred and Violence: Rajoub is accused of using his position to incite hatred and encourage violence, including praising terrorist organizations and referring to attacks on Israeli civilians as "acts of heroism."

  2. Antisemitic Remarks and Comparisons: The complaint highlights Rajoub's antisemitic statements, such as labeling Jews as "criminals" and "terrorists," and comparing Israel to Nazi Germany, which are seen as attempts to delegitimize Israel and incite further hatred.

  3. Politicization of Sports: Rajoub is accused of exploiting his roles in sports organizations to advance political agendas, including efforts to impose international sanctions against the Israeli Football Association, actions that violate FIFA's mandate to maintain neutrality in sports.
