The FA's decision not to light up the Wembley arch to pay respects to Israel was today branded 'mind-blowing' by the Government's independent adviser on antisemitism - as the chair of the association's Faith in Football group quit in protest.
Bodies across the UK have been urged by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to pay tribute at sporting events to victims of violence in Israel after attacks by Palestinian terror group Hamas on the country.
Ahead of tonight's friendly between England and Australia at Wembley Stadium, the FA said players will wear black armbands and a period of silence will be observed to remember victims of the conflict.
