Original: Pubs in Ireland refuse to screen Israel match in protest over Gaza genocide

The decision has thrust the country into the global spotlight, with the controversial fixtures drawing debate over whether sporting ties with Israel should continue while the war goes on. Ireland has long been vocal on Palestinian issues, and the pub boycotts reflect wider public pressure on sporting and political institutions.
Why now: The Nations League fixtures against Israel have become a flashpoint for protests over the war in Gaza.
