Ireland PM supports coach over Israel
Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin announced his support for his national team coach, Héimir Halgriemson, following strong criticism from the Israeli Football Association due to his remarks about the Gaza strike. Martin described the statements as unacceptable and called for their withdrawal, citing the destruction and casualties in Gaza as well as United Nations statements. Meanwhile, Halgriemson expressed gratitude for the support but considered that his comments attracted unwanted attention ahead of the match against Kosovo. This crisis comes amidst protests and calls to suspend Ireland's participation in international competitions, in light of Ireland's supportive stance toward Palestine.
