UK MPs have expressed their support for the decision by police to ban Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match against Aston Villa in Birmingham after violence broke out at a derby match in Israel yesterday. The decision has been fiercely criticised by the UK government, which has framed the issue as a question of discrimination against Israeli fans. In a post on X, independent MP Ayoub Khan said: “To Keir Starmer and others who tried to make this about religion! Here’s more evidence. Even under the world’s spotlight, these fans chose violence, injuring police officers.”
