FIFA also warned that Israel would face a complete expulsion from the international federation if it fails to address the issue.
FIFA has launched a mediation task force over the matter.
Palestinian football official Jibril Rajoub has met with FIFA President Sepp Blatter in an effort to resolve the long-term difficulties Palestinian footballers face due to Israel's policies.
FIFA wants Palestinian and Israeli football officials to sign a formal agreement over the issue at or around the June congress of FIFA. However, Palestinian officials say that the agreement could not be signed while Israelis continue to impose travel permit restrictions on everyone from footballers to consultants.
They also say that such restrictions often keep the Palestinian national team from competing with its complete squad. The bans also restrict hosting games in the occupied West Bank.
Israelis say FIFA has mixed politics and sport.
In January, Israeli forces shot and injured two Palestinian football players in the West Bank. Jawhar Nasser Jawhar, 19, and Adam Abd al-Raouf Halabiya, 17, were shot while walking home from a training session in the Faisal al-Husseini Stadium in the town of al-Ram.
The two were told that they might not be able to play again.
The Israelis did that to the people who saved them from wandering the desert for fourty years.... what are they gonna do to someone who doesn't give them everything..
Bottom line is Israelis (as a whole)have been murderous, thieving, conniving, and manipulative since before there was even an Israel. All of the bad they have done was because they claim they are God's chosen people and are right to do whatever to whomever they want.
That is also why the Arabic community is having a hard time getting along with them. They came and cozied up next to some people, murdered them, and stole their land while treating anyone they didn't kill as a concubine.
If you wanna talk natinal security problems, these are the people i would be worried about. The Ironic thing is no one really understands that Israel was stolen through a mass slaughter by the Israelites. It was never their homeland, or their place to protect.
At least we give the native americans respect after we murdered them and stole their homeland(and all of the pioneer/indian crap, and indian wars)... Take a lesson Israel. You don't make God proud. You make him disgusted that you murder and mame in his name.
