Republic of Ireland players did not shake hands with their Israeli counterparts and bowed their heads during Israel’s national anthem before their 3-0 UEFA Nations League win in Hungary on Sunday. The Irish squad also wore black armbands, with Football Association of Ireland chief executive David Courell saying the gesture was “in recognition of all lives lost” in the Gaza conflict. Ireland players were jeered by a small group of Israel supporters during their pre-match warm-up. Ireland head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson said the team had “raised awareness worldwide” by choosing not to participate in the pre-match formalities. #Ireland# #Israel# #UEFANationsLeague# #Gaza# #IndiaTodayGlobal#
