Israeli citizens have been warned to avoid sporting and cultural events in Britain and Europe following the violence that erupted in Amsterdam last week.
Citing intelligence that pro-Palestinian groups plan to target Israelis in several European countries including Britain, France and Belgium, Israel advised its citizens against attending events in which the country was participating.
Examples include a UEFA Nations League fixture between Israel and France scheduled to take place in Paris on Thursday.
THE ANNUAL JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL
In the UK, the annual Jewish Film Festival is due to take place this week.
Israel’s National Security Council said that it had intelligence that Palestine groups intended to use protests as a cover for harming Israelis and Jews.
It said that ‘terrorists’ would exploit mass gatherings ‘to maximise damage and the media coverage’, the Times reported.
Israelis are urged to avoid identifying themselves in European cities, particularly in areas with a ‘large migrant population from countries opposed to Israel’.
Last Thursday, Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were subject to antisemitic attacks in the Dutch capital after the side’s clash with Ajax.
