Uefa was expected to hold an emergency vote this week on whether to suspend Israel from European competition over the war in Gaza.
However, Montagliani was quoted by The Athletic as saying the continental body has decided “to pause a vote” following the announcement of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan to end the war in the region.
Israel are third in Group I in European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Table-toppers Norway are set to play Israel next on Oct Il in a qualifier in Oslo.
Ahead of that match, Norwegian Football Federation president Lise Klaveness called for Israel to be suspended from international football.
