Egypt’s Mohamed Aboutrika Wants Israel Banned From All Sports for ‘Killing Children and Women in Palestine’

• Mohamed Aboutrika has called for double standards after Federation of International Football sanctioned Russia from all football competitions
• According to the Al Ahly legend, FIFA should also ban Israel for their involvement in the death of children and women in Palestine
• Russia has come under international backlash in the wake of the country's invasion of neighbouring Ukraine

Legendary Egypt international Mohamed Aboutrika has slammed the Federation of International Football (FIFA) for their failure to punish Israel after they banned Russia from participating in all football competitions.

FIFA and UEFA have suspended Russian teams after the International Olympic Committee banned all athletes from the European country following their military invasion of Ukraine.

However, three-time Africa Cup of Nations winner, Aboutrika, is not happy same sanctions were not meted out to Israel after their military were involved in the 'killings of children and women in Palestine.'

In an interview with Quds News Network, Aboutrika said: “The decision to suspend Russian clubs and teams from all competitions must be accompanied by a ban on those affiliated with Israel, which has been killing children and women in Palestine for years.
