Tottenham chief resigns over “lack of moral clarity” on Israel-Hamas conflict
Jonathan Adelman, the chair of Tottenham’s Tribute Trust, has tendered his resignation in an open letter criticising the club’s statement in the wake of the Hamas attack in Israel
The chairman of Tottenham’s Tribute Trust has resigned in the wake of the club’s disappointing response to the recent Hamas attacks in Israel.
More than 1,300 people were killed following the terrorist group’s attack last Saturday. Israel have since responded with air strikes, killing more than 1,400 people in Gaza.
The FA had been criticised for staying silent on the attacks earlier in the week and has since been slammed after it was confirmed that they would not be lighting up the Wembley arch in the blue and white of Israel before England’s match against Australia on Friday night.
Tottenham joined the FA in issuing a statement in response to the attacks on Thursday. It read: “The Club and our footballing family is shocked and saddened by the escalating crisis in Israel and Gaza, and strongly condemns the horrific and brutal acts of violence against innocent civilians. Our heartfelt sympathies are with the victims, their families and the communities impacted.”
