Paris police have announced a significant security deployment for the upcoming France-Israel soccer match, with 4,000 officers and 1,600 stadium staff set to be on duty. This measure comes in the wake of recent violence against Israeli fans in Amsterdam, prompting heightened security measures in and around the stadium as well as on public transportation.
The match, part of the UEFA Nations League, is scheduled for Thursday and will be attended by French President Emmanuel Macron. The Elysee presidential palace confirmed his presence at the event.
