PM says Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban is 'wrong decision'

The prime minister has said banning fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending a football match in Birmingham is the "wrong decision". Aston Villa are playing the Israeli club next month in the Europa League match. However, Birmingham's Safety Advisory group has advised that Maccabi fans will not be allowed at the match, with West Midlands Police saying it had classified the fixture as "high-risk". Sir Keir Starmer criticised the move, saying "we will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets" and that the role of police was "to ensure all football fans can enjoy the game, without fear of violence or intimidation".
