Thousands of security personnel have been added in Paris ahead of an international soccer match between France and Israel that comes a week after violent clashes in Amsterdam targeting Israeli fans.

Authorities in the French capital are deploying 4,000 police, including elite tactical officers, and 1,600 private security guards ahead of Thursday’s match at the Stade de France outside Paris.

Last week, Israeli soccer fans visiting the Dutch capital were chased and beaten by crowds in what officials from both countries described as antisemitic attacks .

The violence, in which at least five people were hospitalized and more than 60 were arrested, unfolded before and after a Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv last Thursday.

Dutch authorities said they had prepared for the possibility of a clash between visiting Israeli fans and others, including pro-Palestinian demonstrators, because of tensions and rhetoric over the war in Gaza .

Videos circulated online last week showing Maccabi fans pulling down a Palestinian flag and chanting anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian slogans. There were also reports of violence involving Maccabi fans.

The Israeli government said it had intelligence that pro-Palestinian groups abroad intended to harm Israelis in countries including the Netherlands, the U.K., France and Belgium.

“In the coming week, categorically avoid attending Israeli sports/cultural events abroad, and specifically the Israeli teams’ upcoming match in Paris,” the government said Sunday.

Antisemitic incidents have increased in Europe and the U.S. following the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel led by Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, according to governments and nongovernmental organizations. More than 1,000 people were killed and around 250 taken captive during the attacks, sparking an Israeli response that has left more than 43,000 Palestinians dead.

French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said Wednesday that Israelis were welcome in the city and would be safe.

“Maintaining the match was symbolic, it was a way of saying that France is not backing down, France is not submitting to the injunctions of anti-Semites and hatemongers,” Retailleau said on national TV. undefined undefined The 80,000-capacity stadium is located in Saint-Denis, a suburb of the French capital with a large Muslim immigrant population.

Fans visiting France’s national stadium have experienced trouble in the past. After the 2022 Champions League final featuring Liverpool and Real Madrid, fans of both sides reported being robbed and attacked by gangs outside the stadium. There were also complaints of heavy-handed policing, poor organization and overcrowding at the stadium.

The issue was raised by lawmakers in the U.K. Parliament, who condemned the experience of Liverpool supporters as “terrifying” and “chaotic.”

UEFA, European soccer’s governing body, later published a review into the complaints that found a series of failings by police and organizers.

The violence in Amsterdam last week came to a boil after two days in which Israeli visitors were stalked and harassed in the city, Maccabi fans told The Wall Street Journal.

Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said messaging app Telegram was used to organize the attacks, and some chats including messages about “going on Jew hunts.”

In a letter Monday, Halsema wrote that what happened in the city was “the result of a toxic cocktail of antisemitism, hooliganism and anger over the war in Palestine and Israel, and other countries in the Middle East.”

She said Jews, Muslims, Palestinians and other minority groups have all been regularly targeted in the city, adding, “We abhor all of those kinds of violence and do everything to combat them.”

“Antisemitism cannot be met with other racism: The safety of one group cannot be at the expense of the safety of another,” Halsema said.
