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.
