The FA is unlikely to light the Wembley arch with the colours of the Israel flag in a show of support before England v Australia 'due to fears of a backlash'.
The Government wrote a letter to sports bodies encouraging them to pay tribute to the victims of Hamas terror attacks at upcoming events.
The letter read: 'In the light of the attacks in Israel on behalf of the secretary of state we would encourage you to mark the events in line with previous events where sport has come together.'
Last year, the arch turned blue and yellow in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
