On the eve of the Nations League football match between France and Israel, which will take place at the Stade de France in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron stressed that his country is firmly opposed to any manifestation of anti-Semitism and violence.
“The Times Of Israel” writes about this.
In an interview with BFMTV, Macron noted that France will not be intimidated and expressed his determination not to allow violence and anti-Semitic sentiments to permeate society, especially in the current climate.
Paris police, led by Laurent Núñez, warned of a “high level of risk” before the match, while Israeli authorities advised their citizens to avoid the stadium. The situation remains tense, especially given recent incidents in the Netherlands that have caused concern among authorities.
Dignitaries including French Prime Minister Michel Barnier and former presidents Francois Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy are expected to attend the match.
