Football fans in Israel have waved a 'refugees not welcome' banner at a Maccabi Tel Aviv match.

Maccabi supporters held a sign aloft during their fixture against Kiryat Shmona, going against messages of support from around Europe.

Other fans around the country, however, have been more supportive, with Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters holding a banner saying: "Who isn't a migrant here?" in Hebrew.

The message being that lots of Israelis come from refugee families, and the history Israel has of accepting refugees into the country.

Bejamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, has already said the country will not be accepting Syrian refugees, but that they will provide medical support for those injured in the war.

Arsenal have been among the clubs across Europe to support the refugees with a portion of every ticket sold going to help alleviate the crisis.

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger said: "For the game against Stoke, for every ticket sold, £1 will be donated to victims of the Syrian crisis.

The Frenchman told the club’s official website: "It’s an exceptional circumstance and I’m very happy that our club contributes to help refugees to settle in countries where they come without anything.

"We’ll give £1 for every ticket sold [against Stoke] and if everyone can contribute like we do then I think we can give very, very strong help."

Bayern Munich and Celtic have been among other clubs getting behind those at need, as well as a number of other clubs in the Bundesliga.

Maccabi will face Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.
