(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Jibril Rajoub, chairman of the Palestinian Soccer Association, on Thursday called for Israel to be expelled from all international Olympic unions and committees until it "honors international agreements." He also voiced strong opposition to any form of normalization with Israel, particularly in the field of sports. He called sports "one of the methods of resistance" against Israel. "The youth sector in Palestine is the basic fuel for the liberation project," he said, emphasizing the youth's role in maintaining a "permanent state of confrontation" with Israel. Rajoub is the former head of the PA Preventive Security Service in the West Bank.
