A UEFA Nations League match between Ireland and Israel ended 1-1 in an ill-tempered draw marked by an allegation that an Israeli player spat at a member of Ireland's coaching staff, which Ireland's manager said would be reviewed by a disciplinary committee. Irish players again wore black armbands and refused to shake hands with their Israeli counterparts, continuing a pattern of protest during matches against Israel. The incident reflects how sporting fixtures involving Israel continue to become flashpoints for political protest related to the Gaza war.
