Leicester City duo Hamza Choudhury and Wesley Fofana held up a Palestinian flag after their side clinched the FA Cup with a dramatic victory over Chelsea. During the post-match celebrations as players did their lap of honour, Choudhury and Fofana were pictured holding a Palestine flag aloft. Israel and Palestine have been involved in horrific clashes over the last couple of weeks, with violence breaking out between Israeli police and protestors. A week of escalating violence is the worst seen between Palestine and Israel since 2014. A number of sports stars have posted messages of support with Palestine with Arsenal's Eygptian midfielder tweeting on Monday: 'My heart and my soul and my support for you Palestine,' followed by a picture of the Palestine flag and a peace emoji.
