4,000 police, security at every turn. Paris prepares for Israel’s national team visit

On November 14, France will host Israel at the Stade de France, and Paris officials are implementing extensive security measures to prevent unrest in the city.

Details: According to Marca, French authorities have classified this match as high-risk, mobilizing 4,000 police officers across the city, with an additional 1,600 security personnel stationed inside the stadium. Upon arrival, the Israeli team was immediately assigned a dedicated security detail to ensure their safety at all times and locations. Despite the precautions, the Israeli delegation has urged its fans to avoid traveling to Paris.

Paris police chief Laurent Nuñez emphasized that only French and Israeli flags will be permitted inside the stadium, with Palestinian flags and any political chants strictly banned.

Reminder: This comes shortly after a controversy erupted in Paris over a pro-Palestine banner displayed during the PSG vs. Inter Champions League match.
