Wembley's arch will only be lit for football and entertainment under a new Football Association policy.

The decision follows criticism that the arch was not lit in the colours of the Israel flag after attacks by Hamas. The decision not to do so was described as "disappointing" by the UK government, and Rabbi Alex Goldberg resigned from an FA faith in football group.

FA senior officials were known to be wary of a perception they might be taking sides on the issue, and insisted they acted on "expert advice".

But they later accepted the episode had caused hurt to the Jewish community, describing it as "one of the hardest decisions" they had ever had to make.
