France-Israel Football Match to Proceed Despite Calls for Cancellation

Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau insists on the match's occurrence amid geopolitical tensions, with security measures under review.

LFI Deputy Louis Boyard has called for the cancellation of the France-Israel football match, citing human rights concerns related to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The match, part of the UEFA Nations League, is scheduled for November 14 at the Stade de France, following a relocated first leg in Budapest.
Boyard's stance is supported by a petition from the Association France Palestine Solidarité, which opposes hosting the Israeli team in France.
Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has rejected the cancellation request, emphasizing the match as a matter of principle and promising enhanced security measures.
Authorities are considering reducing the number of spectators allowed in the stadium from the current capacity of 80,000 for safety reasons.
