Ali Khatib and Alaa Abu-Salah, who have played on the Palestinian Authority soccer team in the past, are not being allowed on the team currently involved in the Asian Nation's Cup because they play in Israel, according to Walla!.
Khatib is a member of Hapoel Hadera of Israel's Premier League while Abu-Salah plays for Hapoel Iksal in Israel's second division. The decision not to allow them was made by PA Football Association and Olympic Committee Chairman Jibril Rajoub, a former Fatah terrorist who uses his position against Israel at every opportunity.
