Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has been slammed by former Chelsea manager Avram Grant following his decision to \u201cstay silent\u201d over the Israel-Hamas conflict.<\/p>\n

Israel-born football manager Grant, 68, issued an emotional statement to Lineker, 62, informing him that he had lost respect for him after he failed to speak out about the October 7 attacks.<\/p>\n

In a video monologue, Grant accused the pundit of having a \u201cdouble standard\u201d when it came to Israel. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have a message to Gary Lineker who I respected a lot as a football player, but to be honest, that respect is gone,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI follow Gary, he comments about everything, he even said that the current policy of the UK Government reminded him of the policy of the German government in the 1930s. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI know about this policy, my father suffered for this policy, my grandfather, my grandmother was murdered because of the policy of the Germans. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing that is close to his is what happened on October 7. What happened, I cannot even describe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He went on to describe the brutal attacks that happened in Israel on October 7, before continuing: \u201c’I’ve never heard of such things in my life, and what did you do? Silence. Nothing. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think you even said that Tottenham is first place in the league. That’s what was important for you. So you have a double standard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
