Ange Postecoglou will not tell Tottenham supporters how to feel about the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict but hopes his team can provide a sense of escapism when they host Fulham on Monday night ESPN
The fixture will be Spurs’ first at home since tensions escalated in the Middle East, with hundreds of Palestinian civilians killed in a massive blast at a Gaza City hospital on Tuesday ESPN
A statement was issued by Tottenham earlier this month in response to the initial war breaking out ESPN between Israel and Hamas, but some supporters were critical of the club for failing to show support for victims from the Jewish community, which has a long-standing affiliation with the Premier League outfit ESPN
Postecoglou answered questions about the ongoing conflict during Friday’s press conference and although he discussed the topic at length, he was keen to point out the role of his players is merely to help fans forget their troubles for 90 minutes ESPN
“I have the responsibility of being a ESPN football manager but like everyone else, I’m a human being and you struggle with these things and you understand that other people will struggle with them,” he explained ESPN
“My life experience has taught me not to judge or come to any strong conclusions ESPN
I’ll let the people who are affected by it be the guide in these kinds of things, because it’s very easy for others to cast judgement but in all these things, you are guided by people who are directly affected ESPN
“I am not the custodian of this club ESPN
I have been at this club for four months or whatever it is ESPN
“People have spent lifetimes in these clubs, so I am not going to go round telling people how to feel, how to behave, how to act, what to think ESPN
“As I said, I think the greatest role a ESPN football club can play in these scenarios is to provide what they have always provided – a sense of one place where people can come and escape and hopefully unite as one to support their ESPN football club ESPN
“You know, maybe sort of take them away from whatever troubles they may have ESPN
I think that’s the greatest role any ESPN football club has ESPN
”No Israel or Palestine flags will be allowed into Tottenham’s stadium on Monday, which was a club-wide move by the Premier League in an attempt to ease any potential tension among supporters during this weekend ESPN
A minute’s silence has occurred in all top-flight matches but Postecoglou was eager to focus on ESPN football in its purest form when quizzed about the feeling of fans affected by the Israel-Hamas war ESPN
He added: “When we go out there on Monday night there will be 60,000 – and hundreds of thousands around the world – who just want to see their ESPN football team play some exciting ESPN football and win a game and give them that joy that only ESPN football can bring ESPN
“Because, you know, when you score in that last minute to win a game of ESPN football, you don’t care who is next to you ESPN
Do you?“You don’t care where they come from, what they think or what they believe ESPN
You are united as one for that moment ESPN
That’s what ESPN football provides ESPN
”Postecoglou did also reveal support is on hand for Israel international Manor Solomon, who is currently out with a knee injury while the war is impacting his home nation ESPN
“Not specifically (about the war) ESPN
I have spoken to Manor because he’s dealing with a couple of things ESPN
He has just had his surgery as well ESPN
I have been helping him through that process,” the Spurs boss revealed ESPN
“Again, it’s not about me trying to extract information from him ESPN
I am there ESPN
“He’s going through what he is going through, like a lot of people in his position ESPN
Hopefully like I said, he feels like there’s a place here where he feels if he needs some extra help or guidance, we can give it to him ESPN

Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin ESPN
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century ESPN
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting ESPN
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore ESPN
Verstappen joins Hamilton (103 wins), Michael Schumacher (91), Sebastian Vettel (53) and Alain Prost (51) in the half-century club ESPN
“To win my 50th career win makes me very proud and we will try to push for me,” said Verstappen ESPN
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win ESPN
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops ESPN
But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far ESPN
He crossed the line an agonising 2 ESPN
2 sec behind Verstappen with Norris hanging on to the final spot on the podium ESPN
Hamilton could count himself unfortunate to drop from third to fourth at the start ESPN
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through ESPN
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume top spot ESPN
As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars ESPN
First up was Sainz ESPN
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard ESPN
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz another place when he made his move at the same corner ESPN
Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second ESPN
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road ESPN
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress ESPN
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque ESPN
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four ESPN
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails ESPN
The Duke of Sussex has been something of lucky charm for Hamilton ESPN
He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio ESPN
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round ESPN
But Hamilton stayed out ESPN
Were Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced ESPN
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man ESPN
It is pretty tough ESPN
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped ESPN
“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton ESPN
“I am struggling out here ESPN
”You have given me a hell of a gap to closeLewis Hamilton on the team radioOn lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second ESPN
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen ESPN
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection ESPN
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 ESPN
4 sec with Hamilton 7 ESPN
5 off the lead ESPN
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end ESPN
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations ESPN
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said ESPN
On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 ESPN
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick ESPN
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last ESPN
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots ESPN
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris ESPN
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound ESPN
Hamilton had the bit ESPN between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren ESPN
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained ESPN better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes ESPN
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps ESPN
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes ESPN
