Maccabi Tel Aviv ban policing review failed to include local Muslim voices

A British policing watchdog's review into the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a football match in Birmingham is facing criticism. The preliminary report, which led to the resignation of the West Midlands Police chief constable, failed to include any input from the city's large Muslim community. The investigator did, however, interview representatives from the Israeli embassy and local Jewish community organizations. This has raised questions about the impartiality of the inquiry that prompted the police chief's departure.
