"In light of the current security situation in Israel, UEFA has decided to postpone all matches scheduled in Israel in the next couple of weeks with new dates to be confirmed in due course," UEFA said in a statement on Sunday.

"UEFA will continue to closely monitor the situation and will remain in contact with all teams involved before

making decisions on new dates and on potential changes to other upcoming fixtures," UEFA said.
