British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has criticized a decision by the Birmingham police to ban Israeli fans of football club Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending the Europa League game against Aston Villa on Nov. 6.
Birmingham’s Safety Advisory Group, which issues safety certificates for every match at Villa Park, announced the ban after West Midlands Police said they had classified the fixture as high risk.
