Has Israel ever played international football matches with Palestine and Arab nations? No, never.
Has Armenia played international matches with Azerbaijan? No.
Did US play International matches with Soviet Union during cold war tension? No, US boycotted 1980 Moscow Olympics.

It was very shameful and embarrassing to see India play friendly match with Pakistan on the same day Islαmic tεrrorists kiIIed 10 Hindu pilgrims in Kashmir. Despite the fact that it is Pakistan which sponsors these Islαmic tεrrorists. What was more shameful was the celebrations that followed. You can celebrate your imaginary victory while they kiIIed 10 people from your family.
What was the compulsion to play this match? India literally owns cricket. Cricket is irrelevant without India. If India boycotts Pakistan and forces other nations too, Babar Azam and his friends could be back to their ancestral profession of buffalo theft.
PS: Israel did play a international FIFA qualifier match in 1977 with Egypt . But Egypt was then a friendly 'ally'.
