Macron to Attend France-Israel Match Amid Heightened Security
President Emmanuel Macron will attend the France-Israel match at Stade de France on Thursday, amidst a significant police presence in response to recent antisemitic incidents. The match, part of the Nations League, aims to demonstrate solidarity with Israeli supporters following attacks during a recent Europa League match in Amsterdam. Approximately 4,000 police and gendarmes will be deployed, with an additional 1,600 security personnel ensuring safety in and around the stadium. This unprecedented security measure reflects heightened concerns and the government’s commitment to combating antisemitism.
