Vaud canton MPs to vote on removing UEFA’s tax-free status in Switzerland for failing to sanction Israel
January 20 – Taking a leaf out of US president Donald Trump’s international diplomacy model, pro-Palestine supporters aim to bring pressure on UEFA to suspend the Israeli Football Association (IFA) by hitting the confederation where they believe it hurts most – at the bank.
Today (Tuesday) Swiss local parliamentarians in the Canton of Vaud will vote on revoking UEFA’s tax exemption. UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon are within the Vaud canton.
The argument behind the resolution is that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian land in the West Bank.
