The FA will announce plans on Thursday to mark the atrocities in Israel at the friendly match between England and Australia, after leading Jewish figures within the game urged them to act.
As the leader of the opposition, Sir Keir Starmer, said he believed the Wembley arch should be illuminated in the colours of the Israeli flag following attacks by Hamas across the country last weekend, pressure grew on the FA to break the silence that has been consistent across the professional game this week.
