In Paris, on Thursday, the national team of Israel plays against the team of France as part of the League of Nations football. Present at the match will be the President of France Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister Michel Barnier, and also former Presidents François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy.

Thousands of protesters went out on the streets of Paris during the event organized by the group "Israel Forever," which unites several right-wing extremist Jewish figures in support of Israel.

The match was accompanied by demonstrations in the streets of the French capital in support of Palestine and protests against the event in favor of Israel in Paris.

Moreover, it should be noted that in relation to the attack on Israeli fans last week in Amsterdam, massive security measures are being implemented in Paris during the match.
