British Minister for Culture to Hold Talks on Israeli Football Club Fan Ban
A police and crime commissioner from the central England region has requested an immediate reexamination of the ruling to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv's supporters from being present at the forthcoming match.
Simon Foster, who supervises the force, states that this request aims to verify whether the ban is suitable, essential, warranted, reasonable, and a proportionate step to accomplish a lawful objective.
"This should involve consideration of all and any suitable, alternative options," the official emphasizes.
He has also asked to examine the written decision and recommendation from the advisory group, along with the police assessment.
The commissioner underscores, though, that the final decision belongs to the advisory group and the police.
