Bennett urges FIFA to cancel Qatar World Cup
Economy Minister Naftali Bennett calls on FIFA to cancel the soccer World Cup planned for 2022 in Qatar.
“Qatar is one of the the greatest state sponsors of terrorism,” Bennett says. “The Hamas headquarters are based in Qatar, Qatar finances Hamas terror activity. Qatar is one of the main sources of unrest right now in the region … The world needs to decide if the World Cup is a cup of soccer or a cup of terror.”
The 2018 FIFA World Cup is taking place in Russia.
