The display comes over a year into Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed over 43,000 Palestinians and wounded 100,000 more, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. More than 10,000 Palestinians are missing, believed to be dead and buried under rubble. In Lebanon, more than 3365 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since the start of the war.
Greece had increased security around the game after Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans stirred trouble in different parts of Amsterdam by chanting racist anti-Arab slogans ahead and after their Uefa Europa League match against Amsterdam club Ajax.
