Minister of Justice Yariv Levin has responded to a controversy involving curses directed at him during a football match at Bloomfield Stadium, footage of which circulated on social media. Levin clarified that he was not expelled from the stadium, stating that a single hateful individual shouted at him. He asserted that the notion of being removed is "false and ridiculous." Levin explained that after halftime, he rose to get a drink, as he does at every game, and was then targeted by a hateful remark. He emphasized that he returned to his seat for the second half and watched the entire match. "It is shameful that there are people who think the stadium belongs to them privately and that they will select who enters based on political views," Levin stated. He described this behavior as the opposite of the spirit of sportsmanship and declared it would not deter him. Levin noted that he is usually greeted with affection by many fans weekly, and while some offer advice or criticism, he finds that acceptable. He believes most attendees are focused on the game and their team's victory, not on him.
Levin's comments came after videos emerged showing him receiving curses from fans in the Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters' section. He was reacting to reports that he had been expelled from the stadium, which he vehemently denied, calling the claims "false and ridiculous."
