Macron Stands Firm Against Antisemitism at France-Israel Soccer Match Amid Heightened Security
As France hosts a soccer match between the national teams of France and Israel, President Emmanuel Macron reaffirms his commitment to combating antisemitism. The match, taking place during a politically sensitive time, will see approximately 20,000 spectators at the Stade de France, with 4,000 police deployed to ensure safety. In a televised statement, Macron emphasized that France will not yield to antisemitism or violence. Meanwhile, a solidarity gathering for the Palestinian people is planned nearby, but is distanced from the stadium to avoid conflict.
