Jordan has refused to play against Israel at the ongoing FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup in Switzerland, in protest against the Gaza genocide.

 

According to reports, the Jordan Basketball Federation officially informed FIBA that it would not play the scheduled match against Israel, citing its stance on the current situation in Gaza.

 

Following Jordan’s decision, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) awarded the match result in Israel’s favour.

 

Meanwhile, in another case of protest against Israel’s actions, football fans in Argentina staged a symbolic demonstration. Supporters of the Argentine football club All Boys held a symbolic funeral for Israel before a match.

 

The All Boys fans displayed a symbolic coffin draped with the Israeli flag and paraded it through the streets ahead of their game. The act was meant to condemn Israel’s genocide against Palestine and crimes against Iran.
