UEFA has suspended all pre-scheduled football matches in Israel for the next two weeks. The organization announced the suspension of the match on Sunday. The new schedule of the postponed matches will be announced later. Israel declared war on Sunday after an attack by Hamas militants.
More than 600 Israelis have been killed since Saturday in attacks from Gaza, the local government said. Israel was scheduled to take on Switzerland at the Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv on Thursday in a Euro 2024 qualifier. The match has been postponed "based on the current security situation".

Whether the match will be played on the scheduled day or not, UEFA will confirm the situation in the next few days.
