A press conference ahead of the upcoming match between Ireland and Israel was cut short on Saturday when the Irish coach refused to answer a question from an Israeli journalist. Heimir Hallgrímsson, the Icelandic coach for Ireland, declined to respond to an inquiry about why Irish players allegedly called Israeli players "monkeys" during their previous game on Sunday. Immediately after the question was posed, the microphone was forcibly taken from Moti Pashketsky, a reporter for Channel 1 Sports, and Hallgrímsson departed the room. The match between Ireland and Israel is scheduled to take place in Serbia on Sunday at 9:45 PM and will be broadcast live by Kan News on Reshet Bet.
