David Bernstein, the former chairman of the Football Association, said he was 'hurt but not surprised' by the body's response to the terror attacks in Israel.

Over 1,200 people were killed over the weekend as Hamas terrorists rampaged through towns in southern Israel in the deadliest terrorist attack in the country's history.

Sustained airstrikes from Israel on Gaza, meanwhile, have left around 900 people dead in the enclave.

The Israeli flag was projected on a number of public buildings in London, including 10 Downing Street and City Hall, as show of support on Sunday and was flown alongside the Union Flag at the Home Office on Monday.
