Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker has said he received threats after he retweeted and later deleted a post on social media that called for Israel to be banned from international sporting events, including football.
The post on X, formerly Twitter, by the Palestinian Campaign For The Academic And Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), which he reportedly misread, appealed to the International Olympic Committee, Fifa and all regional and international sports governing bodies to take “an urgent stance”.
