Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters will be blocked from buying tickets for next month's Europa Conference League clash with Aston Villa, the club has confirmed.
In a lengthy statement, the Israeli club said it could no longer guarantee the safety of its supporters, citing the 'intervention of divisive figures', 'hate-filled falsehoods' and 'inflammatory rhetoric' surrounding the game.
The fixture, set for November 6 at Villa Park, has already been mired in controversy after Birmingham's Safety Advisory Group - backed by West Midlands Police - made the decision to bar all away supporters, citing 'intelligence and previous incidents'.
Police pointed to violent clashes and hate crime offences during last year's Europa League tie between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Amsterdam - scenes that saw five people hospitalised and 62 arrested.
But the move triggered outrage across the political spectrum including from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer who blasted the ruling as the 'wrong decision', insisting: 'We will not tolerate anti-Semitism on our streets.'
Just hours before Maccabi's announcement, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy vowed the Government would 'find the resources' to allow 'all fans' to attend, raising hopes the ban could be overturned.
However, the club said it had been left with no choice but to pull out of the away allocation, warning of a 'toxic atmosphere' fuelled by falsehoods and dangerous rhetoric.

Tel Aviv should cancel. That will hurt the bigots.
The Brits don’t seem to mind bombings by muslims or they would do some serious anti-terrorism suppression. They seem to have given up protecting themselves and their culture.

That’s original.
“They seem to have given up protecting themselves and their culture.’’
They have indeed. All of their major intellectuals and ‘’pundits’’ have all said the same thing, “Britain has fallen’’. You Tube is loaded with videos of British talk shows and ordinary people begging us to save them.
Seems to be some generational thing over there. They do stupid things to themselves while that degenerate monarchy capers about in some kind of medieval make believe of kings and queens. Someone needs to tell those inbred twits this is the 21st. century, not the 10th.
Birmingham England has been taken over by the lowest born cockroaches in the world. It is worse than London. Their current mayor is a turban wearing Indian Sikh and they have had a string of previous Islamist mayors.
No Jew would be safe in that filthy city. No young White girl would be safe either.

The Brits do seem to blame victims of Islamic violence, don’t they?
“Don’t alarm the savages or you deserve it.”
Rape? Fault of the woman.
Church burned? Don’t preach the Gospel.
Murdered? Stop being Jewish.
