Supporters of Israeli soccer team banned from UK match over violent protest fears

Supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv are banned from attending a match against Aston Villa due to safety concerns linked to potential violence, prompting backlash from UK politicians who view it as a failure of law enforcement.

“You should never have to or ever in any circumstance police law-abiding citizens,” Sky News contributor Evelyn Rae said.

“You often see police officers moving on the normal law-abiding citizens because they don’t want to stoke violence.

“Who is the group of people in this particular part of the world that are causing the problems.”
