Ireland beat Israel 3-0 amid a tense and sombre atmosphere at a Nations League match in Hungary. The Irish players wore black armbands in a show of solidarity with Gaza, and the two teams refused to shake each other's hands at the start of the match. "The purpose of the protest is to raise awareness," says Ireland coach Heimir Hallgrimsson. The situation has drawn criticism for some Israeli fans, who feel that "politics and sports need to be separated". Despite pressure from within Ireland for the team to boycott the match, the team voted to go ahead with the fixture.
