The Palestinian Authority has canceled a meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino, according to Army Radio.

Infantino was supposed to head to Ramallah to meet the PA’s Jibril Rajoub, but the meeting was canceled at the last minute.

Palestinian sources tell Army Radio the reason for the cancellation is Infantino’s decision to attend the launch of a think tank by former US ambassador David Friedman, to be held at the new Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem, which was built over a Muslim cemetery.
