Condemning Israel's Membership of Sporting Associations

  • Submitted by: James Dornan, Glasgow Cathcart, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 10 September 2025
  • Motion reference: S6M-18798

That the Parliament condemns Israel’s participation in European sports; notes that Israel is not part of Europe but geographically situated in the Levant and is part of the Asian continent; further notes reported views that Israeli state policy is one of genocide against the people of Gaza; believes that what it sees as the relentless and barbaric implementation of this policy are grounds for the rescinding of Israel's membership from European sporting associations, such as UEFA, the Federation of International Basketball Association Europe, the European Handball Association, the European Athletic Association and European Aquatics, and urges these bodies to dispel Israel’s membership forthwith.
