UK Culture Secretary to Hold Talks on Maccabi Tel Aviv Supporters Prohibition
A police and crime commissioner from the central England region has called for an urgent reexamination of the decision to prohibit the Israeli team's fans from being present at the forthcoming game.
The commissioner, who oversees the police department, states that this request aims to verify whether the ban is suitable, necessary, warranted, reasonable, and a balanced step to accomplish a legitimate aim.
"That should involve evaluation of every and any possible suitable, other choices," the official adds.
The commissioner has also asked to examine the official ruling and suggestion from the advisory group, along with the law enforcement evaluation.
The commissioner underscores, though, that the ultimate ruling rests with the committee and the authorities.
