Irish goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu withdrew from Ireland's match against Israel, citing personal beliefs, according to Al Jazeera.

Bazunu said his decision to withdraw was based on a "personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong," the outlet reported.

The withdrawal comes amid broader debate in international sports over whether individual athletes and teams should compete against Israel given the ongoing conflict in Gaza, a question that has surfaced periodically across various sporting competitions.

Al Jazeera's report did not specify whether Ireland's football federation took any formal position on Bazunu's decision or whether other squad members made similar statements.

Bazunu, who plays goalkeeper for the Republic of Ireland national team, has not been reported making previous public statements of this kind regarding international fixtures.
