Mr. Jonathan Hill:

The fundamental difference in the two situations is that UEFA, as the governing body, has not taken any position or applied a sanction in respect of Israel. We are following the advice of UEFA and talking to the Government accordingly. The board has taken a position on that, and I am happy to let Mr. Cooke, as president, address the issue, if he so wishes.
