The atmosphere is inflammable with the organization of a controversial gala on the evening of Wednesday November 13 and that of the France-Israel match the next day. Élie Korchia, president of the Central Consistory of France, was the guest on 11 a.m./1 p.m. to talk about it.
For Élie Korchia, president of the Central Consistory of France, there is no question of changing the organization of the France-Israel match which will be held Thursday, November 14 at the Stade de France. “There was no need to relocate it, there was no need to give up”he declares on the 11 a.m./1 p.m. set. “We are in France, in 2024, we can very well secure a match between France and Israel, two friendly nations who love football”he continues.
“Those who want to exploit the match to turn it into a platform should not be listened to”insists Élie Korchia, who will attend the meeting as will many political figures. However, he says “to understand” the reaction of the Israeli authorities who asked Maccabi Tel-Aviv supporters not to come to the Stade de France. “I think there was a lack of security in the Netherlands. Tomorrow evening it will be at the stadium but also in the surrounding areas”he says.
