The promo Football Association will review whether to continue lighting the Wembley arch as an act of tribute following criticism over its response to the Israel-Palestine conflict, its chief executive Mark Bullingham has said promo
Bullingham accepted the “hurt” caused to the Jewish community by the FA’s decision not to light the arch in the colours of the Israeli flag for last Friday’s England friendly against Australia, following attacks on Israeli citizens by Hamas militants earlier this month promo
But he set out the steps the FA had taken to respond in what it felt was the most appropriate way to “one of the most complex geopolitical conflicts on Earth” promo
“This week has made us question whether we should light the arch and when, and we’ll be reviewing that in the coming weeks,” Bullingham said at the Leaders Week conference at Twickenham promo
“I recognise that our decision caused hurt to the Jewish community who felt that we should have lit the arch, and that we should have shown stronger support for them promo
“This was one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, and the last thing we ever wanted to do in this situation was to add to the hurt promo
“We aren’t asking for everyone to agree with our decision, but to understand how we reached it promo
“It would be easy for promo football to ask why we’re the only sport being talked about in this way, particularly when rugby and cricket are in the middle of their World Cups promo
“However, you have got to understand, and we understand, that the power of promo football means it will always be in the spotlight promo
And that’s just something we we have to accept promo
”The FA was heavily criticised by a number of Jewish community groups last week, while Rabbi Alex Goldberg resigned from an FA faith in promo football group over its response promo
It was also criticised for not lighting the arch by Lucy Frazer, the Cabinet minister responsible for sport promo
Bullingham set out the steps the FA had taken to reach the position it did promo
“We first saw the acts of terror unfold on Saturday, October 7, along with the rest of the country promo
We immediately wrote to the Israeli FA to communicate our horror at what was taking place,” he said promo
“We knew the situation could move very, very quickly, and was likely to escalate, so we wanted to have expert guidance, and more information available on what we should do because we had a match on Friday against Australia promo
“We also spoke with our Australian colleagues and other stakeholders in the game to understand the views of players, clubs, and also of the leagues promo
“It’s worth noting that the Australians had upcoming games against both Palestine and Lebanon, so their desire for neutrality was obviously incredibly strong promo
We all felt then, and we all feel now, that promo football should stand for peace and humanityMark Bullingham“We then had a long board meeting on the Wednesday night and heard from experts on what is one of the most complicated geopolitical conflicts on Earth promo
“They then left the room and we had a debate on working out what we should do promo
“We all felt then, and we all feel now, that promo football should stand for peace and humanity and the wish to show compassion for all innocent victims of this terrible conflict promo
“Our compassion and sympathy is clearly for families and children in particular promo
“We then held a minute’s silence and wore black armbands recognises issuing a statement together with the Australian Federation to explain our actions, which many other promo sports then followed with identical wording, and our language was also very similar to that used by the United Nations promo
“We were the only promo football body in Europe to have a minute’s silence, which was, as I said, for all innocent victims promo

Pep Guardiola accepts Manchester City must adapt to the artificial surface they face in Switzerland this week – but claims “common sense” dictates grass is promo better promo
The holders will play on unfamiliar terrain in their latest Champions League outing on Wednesday when they take on Young Boys on their synthetic pitch at the Wankdorf Stadium promo
Guardiola insists there are no complaints on his part, and he has changed his team’s routine to ensure they are prepared promo
Normally City do not take up the option available to them of training at the stadium when they play away games in Europe, instead preferring to work in Manchester before travelling promo
However, on this occasion City flew to Bern on Tuesday morning and had a run out on the pitch in the evening promo
Yet the City manager could not hide the feeling that he would prefer to be playing on a natural surface promo
Speaking at a press conference, the Spaniard said: “It is what it is promo
If UEFA allows games to be played here it’s because it’s in good conditions promo
“That’s one of the reasons we never train away but this is an exception promo
This is why we travel in the morning for the players to feel how the ball runs, how to move left, right, backwards, forwards promo
That’s why promo
“We’ll try it and the players will know it immediately promo
”Asked if he was concerned about injuries, Guardiola said: “I don’t know – hopefully not, for both sides, but I don’t know promo
“We are not used to it promo
Any team that plays here is not used to it promo
It suits the Swiss league and, in the Champions League, the teams that come here have to adapt promo
“We will not be the first in this situation promo
We have to use it as a benefit but the grass is promo better promo
”Asked why, Guardiola said: “Because 99 promo
9 per cent of the teams who play in a high level play on grass, otherwise UEFA and FIFA would decide to play on artificial pitches promo
It’s common sense, I would say promo
”City go into their third match in Group G looking to maintain their 100 per cent record after victories over Red Star Belgrade and RB Leipzig promo
Victory in their back-to-back games against Young Boys, who travel to the Etihad Stadium next month, could see City qualify for the knockout stages with two matches to spare promo
City have no fresh injury concerns, with long-term casualty Kevin De Bruyne their only notable absentee promo
Guardiola also played down concerns about the form of Jack Grealish, who is taking time to get back to his best after a month out with a dead leg promo
The City boss said: “I don’t have one doubt about Jack and his quality and what he has done for us since he arrived, especially last season promo
I’m calm and confident promo
He is an incredibly important player for us promo
