Argentina’s national football team has cancelled an upcoming friendly match with Israel, Argentine news sources reported.
Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly phoned the Argentine president to try to get him to persuade the team to change its mind.
However, President Macri said it wasn’t his decision.
The Palestinian Football Association welcomed the Argentine team’s decision.
