Jibril Rajoub refuses handshake
Infantino to seek third term as president
Fifa president Gianni Infantino confirmed his intention to stand for re-election for a third full term next year after an attempt to orchestrate a handshake between the Palestinian and Israeli delegates at congress backfired.
Palestinian Football Federation president Jibril Rajoub refused to stand alongside Israel FA vice-president Basim Sheikh Suliman in an awkward moment towards the end of the 76th Fifa congress after both men had been called to the stage in Vancouver by Infantino.
Several sources in the congress hall suggested that Infantino, who created the Fifa Peace Prize last year which he awarded to Donald Trump, had wanted to stage a photoshoot before announcing his candidacy.
