Austria: “End Genocide” Protest at UEFA Nations League Israel Game
- On Thursday, Amnesty International Austria displayed a banner reading "END GENOCIDE" inside the stadium in Linz during the Austria vs Israel match opening the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League group phase.
- The protest renewed Amnesty's call for UEFA and FIFA to suspend the Israel Football Association over "clear evidence" it continues supporting illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
- Alexander Weihrauch, campaigner at Amnesty International Austria, stated the action targeted authorities who "know exactly what is happening" in the Gaza Strip; FIFA rejected the suspension request in March 2026.
- Amnesty is also urging the Austrian government and EU member states to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement and ban trade with Israeli entities responsible for settlements in the OPT.
- Critics argue FIFA's inaction ignores the International Court of Justice's 2024 Advisory Opinion, while 12 states recently announced intentions to restrict goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
