Update: 2025-12-21
Description
A single billboard set off a legal and political campaign that could see Israeli clubs suspended from European soccer. (Original: 16 minutes → Summary: 2 minutes.) Hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti speak with Ashish Bashar about a coordinated effort using international law, UEFA rules, and Swiss political pressure to force accountability over actions in Gaza and West Bank teams. Learn how a UN declaration, an ICJ-related ruling on occupied territory, precedent from post‑war Germany and Russia, and a planned Swiss challenge to UEFA’s tax status combine into a two-track strategy. You’ll get the legal arguments, tactical timeline (expect moves in January), and the practical costs federations face — policing, lost venues, and reputational risk. Keywords: UEFA, Israel, West Bank, genocide, international law, sports ban. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
