Leicester City duo Hamza Choudhury and Wesley Fofana unveiled a Palestinian flag after their side clinched the FA Cup with a dramatic victory over Chelsea.
The Foxes secured their first ever FA Cup thanks to a brilliant long-range strike from Youri Tielemans, as a late VAR call overruled what looked to be a late equaliser from former Leicester man Ben Chilwell.
During the post-match celebrations as players did their lap of honour, Choudhury and Fofana were seen holding a Palestine flag aloft.
English midfielder Choudhury then draped the flag over his shoulders as he went to pick up his winner medal, before teammates Kasper Schmeichel and Wesley Fofana lifted the trophy.
It was an act of solidary with the Palestinian people who are caught in the middle of the ongoing conflict with Israel.
Israel and Palestine have been involved in horrific clashes over the last couple of weeks, with violence breaking out between Israeli police and protestors.
The ongoing conflict has been escalated after Hamas aimed missile towards Jerusalem, with Israeli forces responding by raining down on the Gaza Strip with air strikes of their own.
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.
According to the Jewish Chronicle, the Gunners' sponsor and coffee group Lavazza have since contacted the club to register their concern about them being linked with Elneny's message, amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
Elneny's post resulted in a backlash from Arsenal's Jewish supporters because his tweet also included an image with the text 'Palestine Lives Matter,' which shows an outline of Israel with pro-Palestine pictures within.
A Lavazza Group statement said: 'We'll immediately reach out to Arsenal to remark we are concerned about the club associated with such a message.
'Content of this post is totally not aligned with our company values. Lavazza Group is fully committed against racism and anti-semitism.'
Arsenal told the Jewish Chronicle: 'As with any employees of Arsenal, our players are entitled to express their views on their own platforms.
'That said, we are speaking to Mo about this so he understands the wider implications of his post.
'As a club we are committed to confronting and eliminating all forms of discrimination and continue to champion the need for equality and diversity across all areas of life.'
