# The Israeli minister of Foreign Affairs, Gideon Sa’ar, says he spoke to his British counterpart Yvette Cooper, and shared several pressing Israeli demands. He reiterated his call to revoke the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters attending the Europa League match against Aston Villa next month. According to Sa’ar, Cooper also expressed the British government’s reservations about the decision. Police had announced on Thursday that Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters would be banned from attending the match, citing security concerns after clashes involving the club’s fans in Amsterdam last year.
