Remind me of the conditions placed on the families of the released Israeli captives?

Israeli occupation have barred families of Palestinian captives from celebrating or speaking to press after their loved ones are released. They have also dropped leaflets on the homes of prisoners’ families that read:

“The Israeli security forces will not allow demonstrations in support of terrorist organizations.

Anyone who takes part in such activities exposes themselves to questioning, punishment, and arrest.

You have been warned — we are watching you closely.”

WTF is the head of FIFA doing at the summit?

FIFA President Gianni Infantino attending Donald Trump’s so-called “Gaza peace summit” in Egypt.

But sure, tell us again how “football and politics don’t mix.”
Absolutely insane.
