Several pubs in Ireland have declined to screen a Nations League football match against Israel, according to Al Jazeera, as part of a wider protest tied to the war in Gaza.
The decision has thrust Ireland into international attention over its two Nations League fixtures against Israel, with the pubs' stance reflecting broader public debate in the country about sporting ties with Israel amid the conflict.
The move follows similar gestures by individuals and organizations elsewhere who have sought to express opposition to the war through boycotts of cultural and sporting events involving Israeli teams.
It remains unclear how many establishments have taken this stance nationwide or whether football authorities have responded directly to the pubs' decision not to air the matches.
