According to ¡°Israel Today¡± on 23rd, under pressure from the United States, Israel has temporarily avoided the fate of being expelled by the UEFA, which means Tel Aviv Makabi will play the first European Cup match against Thessaloniki in Greece as planned.

Earlier, Qatar continued to put pressure on UEFA to remove Israel, which caused weeks of tension. According to the report, a number of undisclosed Israeli and international diplomats, football associations and sports officials worked together to ensure that the expulsion issue did not enter the agenda of UEFA meetings. U.S. officials also stepped in to put pressure on top UEFA brass to "not break the status quo".

At the award ceremony organized by the French Football magazine on September 22, the current executive chairman of the Paris Saint-Germain club, Nasser Al-Halefi (Catalonian), delivered the longest speech in history, this move is seen as one of the initiatives to calm Qatar.

According to the media, since the Israeli airstrikes on Doha, Qatar has been under high pressure, and officials in the country are using all their influence to ensure that Israel is expelled from the UEFA.
