Chief Constable of West Midlands Police Craig Guildford defended his decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a football match against Aston Villa. He says the force made an informed decision based on intelligence provided by Dutch police about the conduct of Maccabi fans during a match against Amsterdam in November 2024. He appeared before the British parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee to explain the decision to a panel of MPs, most of which declared membership of - or donations from - 'Friends of Israel' groups.
