Israeli PM Netanyahu presents FIFA with PMW documentation

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Tuesday, 9 July 2013), met with FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter. In response to comments the latter made during his visit to Israel, the Prime Minister decided to show him concrete evidence of the Palestinians' use of football fields as bases for launching rockets at civilian populations in Israel....

Prime Minister Netanyahu also referred to recent media interviews by Palestinian Football Association President Jibril Rajoub in which the latter said that if the Palestinians had an atomic bomb, they would have already used it on Israel and that Israel is the enemy of the Palestinian people (both statements were exposed by PMW).

Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel was asking that FIFA give it fair play and not allow itself and the sport to be used for the dissemination of mendacious propaganda against Israel.
