The France team must face Israel in the Nations League on Thursday, November 14 at the Stade de France. According to Bruno Retailleau, this match will take place on the Saint-Denis side. The Minister of the Interior spoke on his X account (formerly Twitter) this Friday, November 8.
“Some are calling for the France-Israel match to be relocated. I do not accept it: France is not backing down because that would amount to abdicating in the face of threats of violence and anti-Semitism“, underlined Bruno Retailleau on the social network. This declaration from the Minister of the Interior comes a few hours after the violent incidents in Amsterdam.
On the sidelines of the Europa League match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv, this Thursday, November 7, several Israeli supporters were attacked. “What happened last night in Amsterdam and tonight were anti-Semitic lynchings because these Israeli supporters were hunted down because they are Jewish,” responded Yonathan Arfi, the president of Crif, on RTL .
“At my request, the police chief Laurent Nuñez is taking the necessary security arrangements for this match to take place at the Stade de France, as usual“, also said Bruno Retailleau. This Thursday, the Minister of the Interior also expressed his dissatisfaction after the deployment of a tifo “Free Palestine” during the Champions League match between PSG and Atlético de Madrid.
