President Emmanuel Macron, prime minister Michel Barnier, former presidents François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy expected to attend match in Paris

With thousands of extra security personnel deployed on the streets of Paris and a “double ring” of security thrown around the national stadium, France is taking no chances with Thursday’s soccer match with Israel.

Officials said friction had been growing in the lead-up to the soccer match, with the antisemites who led the attack calling for an organized “Jew hunt” in the city.
