Argentina has cancelled a warm-up match due on Saturday due to growing political pressure in terms of\u00a0Israel’s treatment of Palestinian’s in Gaza.<\/p>\n
According to The National, the chairman of the\u00a0Palestinian Football Association,\u00a0Jibril Rajoub,\u00a0issued a statement thanking Lionel Messi and his team for this step.<\/p>\n
Since the match was supposed to be held in occupied Jerusalem,\u00a0Gaza was all cheers with the release of this news, and they weren’t the only ones. Several tweets in support of Argentina’s move went up on twitter within minutes.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s things like #ArgentinaVsIsrael<\/a> that really raise awareness of #Israel<\/a> crimes. Well done #Argentina<\/a> …!<\/p>\n

Palestinians finally took a deep breath after seeing some sort of backlash towards Israel<\/h4>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSome were thankful of an action being taken against Israel for its wrong doings<\/h4>\n
\nGreat decision by the @Argentina<\/a> team to cancel its friendly with Israel. Finally the world is not blind anymore to the land theft and crimes committed against innocent Palenstians. Great move #ArgentinaNoVayas<\/a><\/p>\n
