The Palestinian Football Association canceled a planned meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino at the last minute in protest.
The reason was Infantino's participation in an event in the Tolerance Museum in Jerusalem, which was built on a Muslim cemetery, it said on Tuesday in a statement from the association.
This is a "total affront to the values of religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence", for which FIFA also stands.
Infantino attended the opening of the "Friedman Center for Peace through Strength" at the Museum for Tolerance in Jerusalem on Monday.
The initiator of the facility is David Friedman, former US ambassador to Israel and confidante of former US President Donald Trump.
He stands for a clearly pro-Israeli and settler-friendly policy.
Infantino said on his first official visit to Israel that Israel's rapprochement agreements with Arab states such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates could pave the way for Israel and its Arab neighbors to hold the football World Cup together in the future.
"Why can't we dream of the World Cup in Israel and its neighbors?" Said Infantino, according to the Times of Israel.
Jerusalem is one of the central points of contention in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
Israel captured the eastern part of the city in 1967 in the Six Day War.
The Palestinians, on the other hand, see East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state of Palestine.
In 2018, FIFA imposed a twelve-month ban on the chairman of the Palestinian Football Association, Jibril Radschub.
Before a planned test match between the Argentine national team and its top star Lionel Messi in Jerusalem, he called for the burning of jerseys and posters by and with Messi if he were to play in Jerusalem.
The game was canceled.
FIFA rated Radschub's statements "as an invitation to violence and hostility".
