The Palestinian Football Association stood firm on Wednesday and vowed to continue fighting to get Israel kicked out of Fifa, despite new proposals of easier travel curbs for players, sports visitors and officials.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met Sepp Blatter on the West Bank, where the Fifa president outlined a plan put to him by Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu which included Palestinian football players being given special identity cards and placing special sports liaison officials at crossings between Palestinian areas and those under Israeli control to ease movement.

But the organisation’s chief Jibril Rajoub said there will be “no compromising on free movement” and will push ahead with the vote, which takes place at Fifa’s next congress on May 29.

“We will keep the proposal on the agenda (of the forthcoming congress) for sincere and open discussions by the 208 Fifa member associations,” Rajoub said, in a joint press conference with Blatter.

“There will be no compromising on free movement of our athletes and officials.

“The Palestinian federation is acting in the interests of football, in the interests of Fifa statutes and above all in the interests of the footballers of Palestine.

“(The teams’ inclusion by Israel) is not just a war crime but a crystal clear violation of Fifa statutes.”

Blatter had previously said that he was optimistic that a solution could be met without there needing to be a vote next Friday but Red Card Israeli Racism, which plans to protest outside the congress in Zurich, want to see Israel “shunned” from Fifa “until it respects the human rights of all Palestinians and complies with international law.”

“We think it’s absolutely vital that Israel is suspended from Fifa and then makes good on obligations before it is allowed back in,” said group member Geoff Lee.

Rajoub did welcome the possibility of an Israel-Palestine “match for peace” but went on to say that a game should be seen as “an endgame.”

“Yesterday, you (Blatter) raised a very great idea. It’s a creative idea, I like it,” he said.

“But we have to pave the road for that, we have to prepare the environment. But this should be an endgame, this should be a purpose for you and I urge you not to give up.”
