Israel urges football fans to skip France match

Israeli football fans were warned not to travel to Paris for the France-Israel match after last week’s violence in Amsterdam.

The National Security Council called on Israelis to “avoid attending sports games/cultural events involving Israelis, with an emphasis on the upcoming match of the Israeli national team in Paris”, after over two dozen Israelis were injured in the violence.

Israel said 4,000 of its citizens were evacuated on emergency flights after violence erupted between Maccabi Tel Aviv fans and gangs of men on scooters following a match against Ajax, the Dutch team, in Amsterdam on Thursday evening.

Emmanuel Macron, the French president, will attend the game at the Stade de France on Thursday as a sign of solidarity after the event sparked a diplomatic crisis.

Mr Macron’s office said his participation is “a message of fraternity and solidarity after the intolerable acts of anti-Semitism that followed the match in Amsterdam”.

Thousands of police will be deployed around the French stadium to secure fans attending the match.
