Italian Fans Protest During Israel Anthem in Budapest

News summary

During a Nations League match in Hungary, around 50 Italian fans protested by turning their backs on Israel's national anthem and displaying an Italian flag with 'Liberta' (Freedom) written on it. This demonstration occurred amid heightened tensions due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which has led Israel to relocate its home games to Hungary. The fans, associated with a far-right group, chanted slogans labeling Israeli military actions in Gaza as 'genocide,' provoking outrage in both Israel and Italy. Political figures in Italy condemned the incident, with calls for the fans to be identified and prosecuted for their actions. Additionally, these supporters targeted Italian anti-fascist activist Ilaria Salis, who recently became a member of the European Parliament. The incident raises concerns about future matches, including one scheduled for October 14 in Udine, which has not yet received city council approval and is expected to coincide with pro-Palestinian protests.
