They agreed to play.<\/p>\n<p>Bazunu posted on social media: \u201cI am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of character and principle, therefore I feel it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cMy decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to note that my stance is not in opposition of the Israel people or the Jewish community but against the atrocities in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are few times when you get a chance in life to stand up for something bigger and I strongly believe that this is one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Irish government said: \u201cThe FAI has strongly represented the views of its membership that Israel should be excluded from international football competitions, including bringing a motion to Uefa to this effect last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is that this motion was not passed by Uefa and that the FAI was obliged to fulfil the fixture.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>self.__next_f.push([1,\"10:I[67601,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3zmftm9fpr10z.js\\\"],\\\"WebVitalsReporter\\\"]\\n11:I[39683,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3zmftm9fpr10z.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/145oieyucf7xw.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2d3jm_azdsoua.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0wdohbbl64rk3.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0ga9k6tk8l5i2.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/04hvlg7gpzexw.js\\\"],\\\"SearchForm\\\"]\\n12:I[22016,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3zmftm9fpr10z.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/145oieyucf7xw.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2d3jm_azdsoua.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0wdohbbl64rk3.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0ga9k6tk8l5i2.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/340p8s4b3-99d.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2x1ykt3v697lm.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/01qf75_n803dw.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0eecxkp8vxw3j.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n13:I[79520,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3zmftm9fpr10z.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n14:I[32700,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3zmftm9fpr10z.js\\\"],\\\"ChartbeatTracker\\\"]\\n2:[\\\"$\\\",\\\"html\\\",null,{\\\"lang\\\":\\\"en\\\",\\\"dir\\\":\\\"ltr\\\",\\\"className\\\":\\\"playfair_9b22208d-module__j_-Mhq__className
