Protests ahead of Israel's Euro 2016 qualifier with Wales

The ZF's Alan Melkman described claims by opponents that Israel discriminated against Palestinian footballers as downright lies.

On Thursday, Cardiff City Council scrapped a photographic exhibition showing Jewish and Arab co-existence through football in Israel, barely 24 hours after it had opened.

The council said it had received “a complaint” and had taken the planned demonstrations around the Wales-Israel match into consideration when making its decision to withdraw the display at the city's Central Library.

The exhibition, sponsored by the Israeli embassy, was on show at Cardiff City Stadium ahead of this afternoon's game.

A spokesperson for the embassy said:"Those who didn't want the co-existence exhibition at the library, got it instead at Cardiff City Stadium, which is very fitting."
