Ireland beat Israel in match with no handshakes over Gaza war
Original: Ireland beat Israel but no handshakes due to war in Gaza
Ireland defeated Israel in a football match, but the usual post-match handshakes between the two sides did not take place because of the war in Gaza. The result itself was overshadowed by the visible tensions, with players avoiding contact as the conflict continues to cast a shadow over sporting encounters between the two countries.
Why now: The war in Gaza is affecting even sporting fixtures, making the absence of handshakes a symbolic talking point.
