The Palestinian Football Association on Friday called for the "immediate" suspension of Israel from FIFA, football's world governing body.
"The ball is in your court," Palestine Football Association head Jibril Rajoub told FIFA president Gianni Infantino at its meeting in Bangkok.
However, Israel Football Association rejected the Palestinian call for FIFA suspension on the same day.
