National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was prevented from entering the eastern stands of Teddy Stadium through the players' tunnel during a soccer match between Beitar Jerusalem and Maccabi Tel Aviv on Monday. The club objected to Ben-Gvir walking on the grass, forcing him to take an alternative route to his seat. The match, part of the seventh round of the Premier League, drew approximately 30,000 spectators.
There had been speculation that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might attend the game, which had generated considerable interest. Security arrangements were reportedly being considered for his potential arrival. However, due to the complexities of securing such an event, questions remained about the feasibility of his attendance until shortly before the game, and Netanyahu ultimately did not attend.
Other notable attendees included Minister Nir Barkat and Shaul Meridor.
