Emmanuel Macron and other political figures attended a soccer match between the French and Israeli national teams, which was overshadowed by political tensions and security concerns. The violence that occurred in Amsterdam during a match between a Dutch team and an Israeli squad prompted French authorities to deploy a massive security operation for the game. Despite no specific threats, 4,000 officers were deployed, and stores and shops in the vicinity of the stadium were ordered to close. The heavy security and presence of dignitaries were meant to send a message of solidarity and safety after antisemitic acts in Amsterdam.
