DUBLIN — Ireland’s football players voted behind closed doors Saturday to proceed with their match against Israel — but their coach conceded that his squad was close to “breaking” over the matter. Ireland’s Icelandic coach, Heimir Hallgrímsson, faced a locker-room revolt as one of his players, substitute goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, told him he wouldn’t suit up. Training and press conferences were postponed as rumors swirled as to whether others would join Bazunu, potentially leaving Hallgrímsson with too small of a squad to compete. But after several hours of closed-doors discussions, Ireland’s 26-player squad voted on whether to play Israel — and, according to the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), most said yes. The Nations League clash will be played Sunday at a neutral Hungarian venue and without Irish fans, amid demands of pro-Palestinian protesters in Ireland for the match to be cancelled. During a press conference in Debrecen, Hungary, FAI chief executive David Courell said the match had been approved by “a significant majority,” but he declined to break down the precise vote. Beside him, a downcast Hallgrímsson said they were legally and professionally obligated to play Israel even though his squad was “almost to a breaking limit now.” “Nobody is comfortable playing this game,” Hallgrímsson said, describing the situation as a Catch-22. “It’s two choices and both are tough and bad. It’s a situation where you can’t win.” When asked to confirm whether other players would join Bazunu in boycotting the match, Hallgrímsson demurred. “We haven’t come to a conclusion on this, but the game is going ahead,” he said. “We are trying to limit the damage.” He said the Irish players planned to avoid any pre-game ceremonies with Israeli players, including the traditional handshakes, and would wear black armbands during the match “in recognition of all lives lost in the conflict.” The FAI has been resisting protesters’ calls to boycott Israel ever since Ireland was drawn in February to play the Israelis twice. Sunday’s match in Debrecen is Israel’s “home” game, while the Dublin fixture set for October 4 has been moved to Serbia. Both matches are being televised in Ireland but with minimal commentary. Relations between the two countries have steadily deteriorated since Israel launched its offensive on Gaza following Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel in 2023. Ireland, who has long sympathized with the Palestinian cause, infuriated Israel in 2024 by becoming one of the first European countries to recognize Palestinian statehood. Israel shut its Dublin embassy after Irish government leaders started to describe the mounting Gaza death toll and destruction as “genocidal”. The Israel Football Association offered no immediate reaction to the Irish side’s decision. Earlier this week, in response to Hallgrímsson’s comment that Ireland’s team would be “playing against genocide,” the association condemned him as a figure of “ignorance, hypocrisy and stupidity.”

Eleven defendants will face trial in France after being accused of killing a 16-year-old in 2023 while engaging in speech “against the white race and the French nation,” according to a judicial order seen by POLITICO. The death of Thomas Perotto in the village of Cr´epol quickly became a political flashpoint, with far-right figures like Eric Zemmour framing the incident as an example of the threat posed by immigrants. President Emmanuel Macron called it a “terrible assassination,” while far-right leader Marine Le Pen described the attack as the work of an “armed militia.” The killing later fueled far-right mobilization, including an attempted “punitive expedition” by identitarian militants in nearby Romans-sur-Isère. French judges have sent 11 defendants to the juvenile assize court over the 2023 stabbing to death of 16-year-old Thomas Perotto, with the case involving a racial aggravating factor in the reference to “the white race and the French nation,” French media reported Friday. The order sending them to trial, seen by POLITICO, accuses the defendants of murdering Perotto at a village fête in Crépol, attempting to kill three other people and violently attacking others. Judges seek to trial them as a group because the investigation hasn’t determined who is alleged to have delivered the fatal blow, AFP reported. The judges’ order states the alleged killing was “preceded, accompanied or followed by words, writings, images, objects or acts of any kind” harming the honor of victims or a group because of their supposed race, ethnicity, nation or religion — “in this case, the white race and the French nation.” Some defendants were minors when the attack took place. All are presumed innocent. The Valence prosecutor’s office had initially sought trial on murder and attempted murder charges without the aggravating factor, saying witness statements supporting it were “in the minority” and “imprecise.” Denis Dreyfus, a lawyer representing a group of attendees claiming damages, told POLITICO that the charges matched arguments his side had made. “We welcome the considerable work carried out by the investigating judges,” he said, adding that the case should now proceed with “the dignity due to Thomas and the victims.” The defense pushed back on the charges. “How can our client be sent to trial for murder aggravated by a racial circumstance when neither the fatal blow nor any racist remarks are personally attributed to him?” lawyers Seydi Ba and Diala Al-Shaman, who represent one of the defendants, said, according to AFP. A trial date has not been set. Elise Rey-Jacquot, a lawyer representing another defendent, told RTL on Saturday she would appeal the charges, potentially delaying proceedings.
