A soccer pitch in the Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem has been temporarily saved from an Israeli demolition order, thanks to intervention by FIFA and UEFA leaders. The global soccer bodies, along with Swiss officials, lobbied Israeli authorities to halt the plan amid concerns over the facility's role as a safe space for children. However, the Aida Youth Center warns that the threat persists without official confirmation.
