AI-generated summary
Israeli teams play their home matches abroad due to security concerns due to the war in Gaza and genocide allegations.
The Israeli team plays its matches outside its country for security reasons. Despite the genocide and war crimes in Gaza, Israeli teams are not banned from international sports tournaments, while the matches hosted by this country's representatives are allowed to play in different countries in Europe for security reasons.
The matches that Israeli clubs will play away against the teams of some countries, including Turkey, are transferred to a neutral field, citing the "possibility of provocative action", and thus the home field advantage of the teams that will face Israeli representatives in international competitions is taken away.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
Israeli teams will continue to play matches abroad as long as the Gaza conflict continues
