The police informed the High Court of Justice that it will not ban the entry of protest shirts into soccer stadiums and requested that the petition filed against it on the matter be dismissed. Last December, police prevented Hapoel Tel Aviv fans from wearing a shirt that read "Hapoel Ultras Against Scum," which featured symbols of the police, the Kahane Chai organization and Maccabi with a deletion mark over them. The High Court ruled in an interim order that the fans would be allowed to wear the shirts, and the ban has not been reinstated since. In a response ahead of continued hearings on the petition, the police wrote that "there is no restriction on fans entering sports events while wearing the shirt that is the subject of the petition."
