Overview
- Gianni Infantino said FIFA will help rebuild all football facilities in Gaza and across Palestine in partnership with the Palestinian Football Association.
- He was present at the Sharm el-Sheikh Gaza peace summit at President Donald Trump's invitation.
- The summit resulted in a ceasefire in Gaza, the return of the last 20 surviving Hamas hostages to Israel, and a declaration signed by the United States, Egypt, Turkey and Qatar.
- Nearly 2,000 Palestinians were released from Israeli custody under the peace plan.
- The commitment contrasts with Infantino's recent claim that FIFA cannot solve geopolitical problems, prompting renewed criticism over his ties to Gulf states.
