BRUSSELS DECLINES TO HOST ISRAELI FOOTBALL TEAM AMIDST GAZA GENOCIDE!
June 23, 2024The city of Brussels says it won’t host a UEFA Nations League match between Belgium and Israel in September because of the “dramatic situation in Gaza” that creates a security headache for city officials.
Brussels’ first alderman Benoit Hellings said on Wednesday the city considers it impossible to organize the match, which was scheduled to take place at the Stade Roi Baudouin on Sept. 6.
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators have repeatedly taken to the streets of Brussels since the start of Israel’s invasion of Gaza last year. Last month, ticket sales for the Belgium-Israel match were paused because of security concerns.
Hellings said that Brussels officials discussed thoroughly the possibility of hosting the match with the federal government, police forces and the Belgian soccer federation (URBSFA).
“Today, it is clear that the announcement of such a match being held in our capital will undoubtedly provoke major (counter-) demonstrations, compromising the safety of spectators, players, residents and our police forces alike,” he said in a statement.
