Israeli Public Broadcaster to European Soccer Association: We Won't Broadcast Games If We Cannot Broadcast to Israeli Communities in West Bank

(Jerusalem Post) Amy Spiro - Israeli public broadcaster Kan said on Monday that it has told the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) that if it cannot broadcast the Israeli team's games in West Bank Israeli communities, it won't air them at all. On Sunday, Yediot Aharonot reported that UEFA told Kan it could not air its games to Israelis living in the West Bank. UEFA said it sold the rights to broadcast to the West Bank to a Qatari company. In response, Israeli Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev said Sunday, "Sports organizations do not decide the borders of the State of Israel."
