Premier League wants to prohibit Israel and Palestine flags at games
Premier League clubs will be advised later this week to prohibit Israel and Palestine flags inside stadiums.
The news comes as the conflict in the Middle East worsens.
According to The Mirror, the implementation of this policy will be down to individual clubs and their security teams.
The decision comes after the FA’s decision to not light up the Wembley arch on Friday night with an Israeli flag left Israel Football Association chief Mosche Zuares baffled.
Zuares said: “Those who are afraid to light up a stadium in memory of the murdered and for the sake of historical truth, for reasons that cannot be understood at all, and perhaps it is better not to even try, are in an even darker time than the one my country is currently in.”
He added: “When this happens by the FA of a nation that always knows how to be a moral lighthouse for the free world, it is (more) disappointing than ever. I tried to explain this to my colleagues in the English FA several times in the past days but they insist not to understand. Now they are the one who need to explain.”
