...probably to Cyprus. Affects other Israeli teams in Europe as well.

Good news methinks, considering Haifa's been on the receiving end of several missile/rocket attacks. Israeli FA seem to be as beligerant as their military, from the following:
Israeli FA said:
Israeli FA chairman Iche Menahem reacted angrily to the news and said the IFA would "respond severely and will not let the decision pass unchallenged".

"I would like Uefa to take this decision while they are here in Israel and not from their offices in Switzerland," Menahem said in a statement.

I am sure the players wouldn't have minded too much. Haifa sounds a lot like Liverpool on a Friday night anyway
