This Thursday evening, the Nations League match between France and Israel was classified as high-risk with the context of the conflict in the Middle East and the recent violence in the Netherlands.

Faced with this, the president of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (CRIF) Yonathan Arfi hopes to see an "anti-Amsterdam".

The president of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (CRIF) Yonathan Arfi said on Thursday that he was "worried and vigilant", a few hours before the "symbolic" France-Israel match.

"We are worried. We are vigilant because we know that tonight the France-Israel match is being held under high security tension, with many threats," the Crif representative said on RTL.

The pressure is at its peak before this football event given the context of the conflict in the Middle East and the climate exacerbated by the recent violence.
