Direct charter flights will operate between Tel Aviv and Doha during the World Cup, world soccer's governing body Fifa said on Thursday.

Israelis and Palestinians holding match tickets and a valid Hayya fan ID will be permitted on board flights that will operate direct from Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport to Doha's Hamad International Airport by an airline with pre-existing landing rights in Qatar, FIFA said in a statement.


Consular assistance to Israeli visitors in Qatar during the November 20 to Decembe 18 tournament will be provided through a Doha-based travel company, FIFA said.
