The BBC reported that 48 professional athletes, including French star Paul Pogba of Monaco, have signed a petition calling for the expulsion of the occupying entity from all international sports competitions.

The text of the petition states: "As professional athletes, we believe that sports must respect the principles of justice, fairness, and humanity. We, the signatories under the Athletes 4 Peace initiative, call on the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to immediately suspend the occupying entity from all competitions until it complies with international law and stops killing civilians and famine."

This step comes amid growing calls within sports circles to hold the occupying entity accountable for its violations and to prevent it from participating in international sporting events until it respects international treaties and laws.

British media reports have confirmed that the majority of the executive committee members of UEFA have expressed their support for the decision to suspend the Zionist entity's membership from the continental federation.

Gaza is experiencing unprecedented humanitarian conditions amid the ongoing Israeli aggression that has claimed the lives of thousands of civilians, including a large number of women and children, over the past two years.
