And I think, I don't know if anyone saw Richard Sadley speak after the match on Thursday, saying the Israeli flag would be flying from that pole over there.

And obviously we saw recently Ben Gavir, the security minister in Israel, wave the Israeli flag over activists from all around Europe

having them in stress positions on the floor, taunting them for being activists trying to bring aid to Gaza.

So I think it's just inappropriate for Ireland to host Israel here and play football against them when there's still the aftermath of a genocidal campaign in Gaza.

There's still an invasion of Lebanon happening as we speak.

There's settlement in the West Bank.

There's violence in the West Bank.

There's been blacklisted by the UN this week for using sexual violence in conflict.

It's just there has to be a line.

Israel has crossed it.

And I don't think we can sit back and play football against them in those circumstances.

I think it's the plan to go to Saudi Arabia.
