Israeli coach Avraham Grant said he had an idea to unite the people of Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Abraham Grant, Getty Images- "Do you see this book (the Koran)? I read it from cover to cover. It does not call for killing innocent people. I know many good people in Gaza. Any death is a tragedy, and my heart goes out to them.
I will tell you a secret. Ten years ago, I spoke with the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. I said I had an idea. Let's create football fields on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip. Firstly, to find talented players. Secondly, so that people can play football together.
Football can unite people. I spoke to Arsene Wenger, Kaka and even former Lakers and Chicago head coach Phil Jackson. I still believe it can be done. I am supported by Arabs and Jews who have the money to do it," said Abraham Grant.
