A rabbi working on an FA faith group has resigned over the governing body’s response to the Hamas attacks on Israeli citizens
He said the decision not to light up the Wembley arch in the colours of the Israeli flag ahead of the friendly between England and Australia on Friday night had been “received badly” and also questioned the decision not to permit the flags of any nation to be brought into Wembley besides those of England and Australia.
The FA announced plans on Thursday for players to wear black armbands and for those inside the stadium to observe a period of silence “to remember the innocent victims of the devastating events in Israel and Palestine”. “To decline to illuminate the stadium for fear of backlash is cowardly. It broadcasts to terrorists that their objective – to stoke terror – has succeeded.”In a letter from the CAA’s chief executive Gideon Falter to his counterparts at the FA and the Premier League on Friday, he wrote: “To decline to illuminate the stadium for fear of backlash is cowardly.“To prohibit the flying of Israeli flags by fans in solidarity with the victims is an abomination.
