Palestinian Flags Fly in Dublin as Protesters Urge Ireland to Boycott Israel Match

Activists gathered outside the Irish parliament in Dublin to demand that Ireland boycott its upcoming UEFA Nations League match against Israel.

The demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans, bringing their call for the national team to withdraw from the fixture to the seat of Ireland’s legislature.

Despite the protests, Ireland’s coach said the match would go ahead as scheduled. His statement indicated that the demonstration had not changed the team’s plans to play.

The gathering put the fixture at the centre of a public protest, with activists seeking a boycott while the coach maintained that the sporting commitment remained in place. For now, the match is still set to proceed.
