A high police presence is being prepared for the France versus Israel Nations League football match at the Stade de France in Paris on Friday (AEDT).
Paris police chief Laurent Nuñez described the event as high-risk and revealed that 4,000 gendarmes (paramilitary police officers) would be around the stadium, on public transport and in Paris.
The match comes after an Ajax vs Maccabi Tel Aviv game which descended into violence on the streets of Amsterdam in midweek with Tel Aviv fans being tracked, chased and beaten.
"An elite unit of national police will also protect the Israel team," Nuñez said. "The geopolitical context is extremely delicate."
He said the police would adopt an attitude of zero tolerance of disorder before and after the event.
Israel urges fans to skip match
In Jerusalem, the National Security Council on Sunday urged Israeli fans to "avoid attending sports games/cultural events involving Israelis, with an emphasis on the upcoming match of the Israeli national team in Paris".
Organisations wishing to attack Israel had been identified in a number of European cities, including Paris, it warned, advising its nationals not to have recognisable Israeli or Jewish signs on display.
Israeli authorities had warned fans against attending a Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball match in the Italian city of Bologna on Friday, which ended without incident.
Following the violence in Amsterdam, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered the Mossad spy agency to draw up a plan to prevent unrest at events abroad.
Right-wing protests planned ahead of the match
Right-wing Jewish movement Betar said it would rally in Paris against antisemitism ahead of the Nations League match between France and Israel on Friday.
Israeli, Dutch and European leaders condemned the "antisemitic" clashes in Amsterdam.
Yigal Brand, CEO of World Betar, said in a statement on Sunday that the movement, which is present worldwide and has links to the Israeli right, was "outraged at what has happened in Amsterdam".

He called on group members and supporters to "gather Wednesday in Paris and Thursday at the soccer game, which is also being threatened".
The statement also said Betar and the French Jewish student movement MEJF will host Israel's far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, in Paris on Wednesday.
Investigations continue into Amsterdam incidents
Dutch police said tensions had already built up ahead of a match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Thursday.
Maccabi fans burned a Palestinian flag on the Dam central square and vandalised a taxi, Amsterdam police chief Peter Holla said.
Sporadic incidents beforehand were linked to both Maccabi supporters, who were allegedly chanting anti-Palestinian slogans, and opposing groups.
After the match, groups of men on scooters engaged in "hit-and-run" attacks on Maccabi fans in areas of the city.
Police said the attackers were mobilised by calls on social media to target Jewish people.
At least 63 people have been arrested so far, but only before and during the match. Four people remained in custody, prosecutors said.
Police have launched a massive investigation, and more arrests are expected.
