The match promises to be under high tension around the Stade de France and potentially in the stands. Seventy-two hours before the football match between France and Israel in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis), the political class is mobilizing to symbolically bring a “gesture of solidarity and fraternity”, says the Élysée, to the Jewish community.
The context is that of the outbreak of anti-Semitic violence which took place during the night from Thursday to Friday in Amsterdam (Netherlands), where Israeli supporters of Maccabi Tel-Aviv were violently attacked by groups of individuals. An attack of rare violence, of a clearly anti-Semitic nature.
