The Republic of Ireland and Israel players do not shake hands with each other before or after Sunday's controversial Uefa Nations League game in Hungary.
The Israeli FA issued a statement commending the FAI and the Irish squad for deciding to go ahead with the match, saying: "Football has won."
Ireland have delayed their pre-match media briefing and training as pressure grew, but player vote avoids game boycott.
