France-Israel match, 4,000 law enforcement officers mobilized: ‘Zero tolerance’
The Jerusalem Post reports: “Massive deployment of law enforcement for the France-Israel Nations League match scheduled for next Thursday at the Stade de France.
A ‘high-risk’ match, as the Paris prefect, Laurent Nuñez, said, confirming on BFM TV that 4,000 law enforcement officers, including Police and Gendarmerie, will be mobilized, an ‘extremely reinforced device.’
About 1,600 security officers will be mobilized at the Stade de France and the Raid, the elite unit of the French Police, will escort the Israeli team, he said, speaking of a match in a ‘very tense geopolitical context’ after the events in Amsterdam in conjunction with the match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
In Paris, Nunez said, there will be ‘zero tolerance’ for any unrest before and after the match. ‘We will not tolerate excesses or disturbances to public order,’ he said, reiterating that checks at the entrance to the stadium will be ‘extremely reinforced.’
Nunez also announced the ban on displaying Palestinian flags at the Stade de France during the match. In an interview with French media, he said: ‘There can be no political messages in stadiums, including Palestinian flags. Only French and Israeli flags will be present in the stadium.’…”
