What happened

How coverage differs

Israeli right-leaning media framed the incident as censorship and hostility by Irish football representatives who snatched microphones, while other outlets reported on the Serbian police's brief review of the incident, reaction from the Israeli Football Association, and criticism of foreign coverage like the BBC.
