Irish politicians are rallying for the national football team to boycott their upcoming match against Israel, echoing artists who pulled out of Ed Sheeran’s tour citing solidarity with Palestine. With the game set for October 4th in Serbia — likely without fans due to protests — TDs urge players to follow suit.
