European poker football’s governing body has announced that no UEFA competition matches will be played in Israel until further notice poker
Israel’s national teams and club sides Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv, who are both competing in Europe, must find alternative venues outside the country to fulfil their UEFA fixtures poker
The announcement comes amid the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict, which was sparked earlier this month by an attack on Israeli citizens by Hamas militants poker
A UEFA statement read: “After a thorough evaluation of the current safety and security situation in the whole territory of Israel, the UEFA Executive Committee decided that no UEFA competition matches shall be played in Israel until further notice poker
“The Israel poker Football Association and its clubs Maccabi Haifa FC and Maccabi Tel-Aviv have been requested to propose alternative venues/stadiums (which must comply with all applicable UEFA regulations) outside the territory of Israel for their home matches to be used for as long as this decision remains in force poker
”Israel’s national team were due to stage Euro 2024 qualifiers against Switzerland and Romania – the two teams above them in Group I – in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem respectively next month, while Maccabi Haifa are playing in the Europa League and Maccabi Tel Aviv are in the Europa Conference League poker
A number of UEFA competition matches involving teams from Israel had already been postponed poker
Earlier on Thursday, the poker Football Association said it will review whether to continue lighting the Wembley arch as an act of tribute following criticism over its response to the Israel-Palestine conflict poker
FA chief executive Mark 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 AustraliaBut 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” poker
“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 poker
“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 poker
“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 poker
“We aren’t asking for everyone to agree with our decision, but to understand how we reached it poker
“It would be easy for poker 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 poker
“However, you have got to understand, and we understand, that the power of poker football means it will always be in the spotlight poker
And that’s just something we we have to accept poker
”The FA was heavily criticised by a number of Jewish community groups last week, while Rabbi Alex Goldberg resigned from an FA faith in poker football group over its response poker
It was also criticised for not lighting the arch by Lucy Frazer, the Cabinet minister responsible for sport poker
Bullingham set out the steps the FA had taken to reach the position it did poker
“We first saw the acts of terror unfold on Saturday, October 7, along with the rest of the country poker
We immediately wrote to the Israeli FA to communicate our horror at what was taking place,” he said poker
“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 poker
“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 poker
“It’s worth noting that the Australians had upcoming games against both Palestine and Lebanon, so their desire for neutrality was obviously incredibly strong poker
We all felt then, and we all feel now, that poker 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 poker
“They then left the room and we had a debate on working out what we should do poker
“We all felt then, and we all feel now, that poker football should stand for peace and humanity and the wish to show compassion for all innocent victims of this terrible conflict poker
“Our compassion and sympathy is clearly for families and children in particular poker
“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 poker sports then followed with identical wording, and our language was also very similar to that used by the United Nations poker
“We were the only poker football body in Europe to have a minute’s silence, which was, as I said, for all innocent victims poker

Bill Kenwright would proudly regale anyone who cared to listen about his tales from the Boys’ Pen at Goodison Park, how he took two buses and a tram to watch his hero Dave Hickson, of eating soggy meat pies poker
And, even though he graduated from the terraces to the boardroom, he never lost his love for the club poker
He was a chairman who remained a fan at heart poker
It was, however, a stick used to beat him with when money became the driving force in poker football and the Toffees fell behind the Premier League’s big guns poker
Nevertheless, his death at the age of 78 after suffering from cancer will be felt keenly by all associated with Everton poker
Born on 4 September 1945 in Liverpool, the son of a bricklayer-turned-builder, his own journey was something considerably more dramatic – quite literally poker
He took his inspiration from boyhood hero Hickson, saying: “I found a sort of guide – he taught me how to dare poker
From my family, I had real protection and comfort and, in mum, a spirit that said I could do anything I wanted to poker
”His mother, Hope, who died in 2012 aged 93, remained a huge influence on his life and was famously dragged into Manchester United’s negotiations to sign young academy protege Wayne Rooney poker
United’s then-manager Sir Alex Ferguson, recalling the talks in his autobiography, wrote: “Bill Kenwright gets on his phone and he hands it to me and says, ‘It’s my mother, she wants to talk to you’ poker
She said: ‘Don’t you dare steal my boy!’ poker
”Theatre and acting was Kenwright’s second love and he was on stage at the Liverpool Playhouse by the age of 12, attending the Liverpool Institute high school at the same time as Paul McCartney and George Harrison and touring local pubs and clubs with his RnB band, The Chevrolets poker
Bill Kenwright poses with actress Virginia Stride (Hulton Archive)A romantic gamble got him his break as a professional actor as he arrived in Manchester to attend university but instead made a late decision to head to Granada Studios, where a successful walk-in audition set him on the path to becoming a theatre impresario and film producer via a role in Coronation Street as Gordon Clegg poker
He went on to work with Tim Rice and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber on Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita and produced the hit West End show Blood Brothers poker
But Everton still pulled at his heartstrings and, after joining the board in 1989, he rose to deputy chairman when he launched a successful takeover with a £20m bid to buy a 68 per cent majority share of the club from Peter Johnson in 1999 poker
“I couldn’t think of anyone else who should be taking over the club apart from me,” Kenwright, who became chairman in 2004, said at the time of the takeover poker
“More than anything else I’m a fan poker
I know more than most people what the guy on the terraces and in the directors’ box would want to see poker
”With David Moyes at the helm for 11 years, Kenwright oversaw something of a resurgence, but the arrival of billionaire owners changed the face of poker football and he realised he could not compete as the criticism of his reign began to grow poker
Kenwright pictured alongside Farhad Moshiri (Getty Images)“A poker football club is a trophy asset and you buy a poker football club not to make money, believe me, I am living proof of that poker
There’s not huge money in the world,” he explained poker
He eventually secured billionaire businessman Farhad Moshiri as major shareholder, a bitter-sweet moment as it meant relinquishing power for his beloved club to move forward poker
Persuading Moshiri to install Sam Allardyce as manager after sacking Ronald Koeman was Kenwright’s final major, albeit unpopular, decision, but his role as chairman meant he continued to be a regular in the directors’ box at Goodison poker
As the club’s fortunes failed to align with their new-found finances, supporter protests started to increase, with Kenwright facing accusations of overseeing two decades of underachievement and decay poker
Despite his attempts to engage with fans, the relationship was never the same and in January he was, along with three directors, prevented from attending matches at Goodison because of fan opposition that entailed “threats to safety and security” poker
Kenwright is survived by partner Jenny Seagrove and daughter Lucy Kenwright poker
