On November 14, hundreds protested in Saint-Denis, near the Stade de France, against the France-Israel football match, criticizing it as insensitive amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza. Demonstrators, led by La France insoumise deputy Eric Coquerel, chanted ‘we don’t play with genocide,’ reflecting public discontent over government endorsement of the event. With fewer than 15,000 tickets sold, Coquerel claimed the boycott was partially successful. President Emmanuel Macron, who attended the match, emphasized France’s stance against antisemitism despite the criticism aimed at perceived complicity with Israeli actions.
