Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePalestinian soccer chief Jibril Rajoub on Wednesday welcomes the idea of an Israel-Palestine “match for peace” but says conditions are not yet ready for such a game.
“Yesterday, you raised a very great idea … It’s a creative idea, I like it,” he tells FIFA president Sepp Blatter at a press conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
“But we have to pave the road for that, we have to prepare the environment. But this should be an endgame, this should be a purpose for you and I urge you not to give up,” he says.
