PARIS Following last week’s unrest at a Netherlands match, French authorities have banned spectators from bringing the Palestinian flag to a France - Israel football match this Thursday in a Parisian suburb. "Only French and Israeli flags and messages supporting the teams will be allowed. Stadiums are no place for political messages – it’s the law," Paris prefect Laurent Nunez told French media. Security personnel at Stade de France will subject fans to security searches and ID checks twice
