Arab football fans at the Qatar World Cup are reportedly snubbing Israeli media when attempting to interview them.
Footage circulating online shows Arab fans snubbing and walking away from Israeli media, while some told them that Israel doesn’t exist.
Qatar does not officially recognize Israel, but it opened direct flights from Tel Aviv for the World Cup, and allowed an Israeli delegation of diplomats to handle logistics.
According to media reports, there has been no ill-treatment of the Israeli delegation from both FIFA and Qatari officials, but fans’ reactions to Israeli media illustrate the challenges Israel faces, despite warming relations with a number of Arab countries.
