The Nations League match between France and Israel at the Stade de France on Thursday was marred by rising tensions fueled by the Gaza conflict.
French fans booed the Israeli national anthem, while minor scuffles broke out near the Israeli fans' section.
Anti-Israeli protests erupted outside the stadium, and the match itself was overshadowed by political and social unrest.
With French President Macron in attendance, this game became more than just a sporting event – it turned into a flashpoint for growing racial and geopolitical tensions.
Watch as we break down what led to the chaos and what it means for France and Israel’s relations in the context of the ongoing Gaza war.

A shocking new video released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shows the dramatic assassination of a top Hamas-Hezbollah commander, marking a significant blow to Iran-backed factions operating in the region. The video captures the moments leading up to the strike, which obliterated the target, sending shockwaves across the Middle East. This targeted operation is seen as a major escalation in Israel's ongoing efforts to disrupt terrorist networks aligned with Iran, which have been destabilizing the region.

Overnight in Gaza, relentless airstrikes and shelling between midnight and 3 a.m. marked one of the most violent nights in recent memory. Strikes hit every corner of Gaza City—east, west, and center—leaving families devastated. A bombing on the Bakr family home killed four, while other neighborhoods like Khan Younis, Jabalia, and Rafah faced nonstop attacks. Civil defense bulldozers were destroyed, and key infrastructure was targeted. As the humanitarian crisis worsens, the strategy appears to focus on crippling Gaza’s emergency response capabilities.
