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

New Zealand prop Tamaiti Williams believes the All Blacks have what it takes to defuse South Africa’s vaunted bench “bomb squad” in the Rugby World Cup final promo
The impact of the Springboks’ replacement tight five forwards was crucial to swinging the semi-final against England their way, with Ox Nche, Vincent Koch and RG Snyman all prominent promo
The bench was similarly impactful in South Africa’s warm-up win over New Zealand, with Jacques Nienaber introducing seven forwards at once to dominate the second-half set-piece battle and seal victory promo
New Zealand, however, fared much promo better in the Rugby Championship meeting promo between the two nations earlier in the year, a game in which Williams made his debut promo
And the 144kg prop believes that experience will stand him (if involved) and his colleagues in good stead at the Stade de France on Saturday promo
“It’s clear they’ve got a good bench promo
They do damage when they come on,” said the 23-year-old, who came on at loosehead in the second half of the All Blacks’ semi-final win over Argentina promo
“It is about whatever the team needs us to do off the bench – [adding] energy with our voice, energy with our ball carrying, our set piece promo
“There is a lot of talk about them but we are just going to focus on ourselves and make sure we are primed promo
When the bench comes on, we need to make sure we make an impact promo
”Tamaiti Williams has risen quickly over the last couple of years, and says he’s learned a lot playing against South Africa (Getty)The gigantic Williams has risen quickly over the last couple of years after impressing for the Crusaders in Super Rugby Pacific promo
Born in Whangarei, New Zealand’s northernmost city, he spent the majority of his childhood in Perth, Australia promo
Having come through as a loose forward, Williams was a late convert to prop, but is skilful enough to cover both sides of the front row promo
And he is braced for a significant challenge this weekend on the sport’s biggest stage promo
“They are massive,” Williams quipped of the South African forwards promo
“And they are clinical – if you give them a chance, they’ll take it promo
“It’s been a great learning, playing against them – I had a good win against them and we got a hiding against them as well promo
“For us, it’s all about being clean promo
You’ve got to match the physicality they are going to bring promo
Everyone knows what they are going to bring, it is up to us to stop it promo
