# Soccer: FIFA has delayed its decision on banning the Israel football team from the Paris Olympics. This follows eight proposals by the Palestine Football Association, addressing breaches of FIFA statutes. FIFA announced via X that legal assessments of the proposals will now be reviewed by 31 August. The extension was granted to allow both parties more time to present their positions. Thus far, Israel is clear to play in the Olympic soccer tournament. The proposals come amid the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza.
