Two hours before the start of the game and the streets of Berhat are empty, deserted, there hasn't been such silence in Berhat for years.

In the cafes, the hookahs were lit a long time ago.

In Morocco's last match, some young people shot in the streets as a sign of joy and the fireworks almost hit passers-by.

Riots started in Berhat, Belkia, and Tel Sheva following the game which included, among other things, the throwing of stones at vehicles.

Now you see a large presence of police officers on the streets, to prevent what happened here last week.



The cafe in neighborhood 14 has 50 seats on a normal day, for the evening of the semi-final game hundreds came;

Adults, young people and children praying for Morocco to win, some even brought chairs from their homes.

Talal Silman Al Karnoi Merhat claims that it is not about riots but about joy, the videos show otherwise.

At the Aldala Cafe where we were invited to watch the game, Talal reserved a table for us outside, "Morocco belongs to the Arab world, and it represents all of us, it is part of the Arab Islamic identity" he says and claims that of course all Moroccan Jews should be happy.

Even before the start of the game, a smoke grenade was thrown onto the road.

The Moroccan national team takes the field and the beatings begin to work, there is no one here who likes France.

Both the Rahat municipality and the police hope there won't be much shooting if Morocco wins.

If you lose, it will be a different story.



Already in the first minutes, Talal along with the hundreds of young people are silent when Theo Hernandez scores.

Talal grabs the head, but they still believe it is possible to win, long live the believers.

The young people here half-jokingly claim that Itamar Ben Gvir, the Minister of National Security, has blackmailed Morocco.



At the end of the first half, the cafe shakes almost like in the Teddy Stadium, the Moroccan player's tally that almost subdues the goalkeeper gives Rahat youngsters the belief that Morocco can equalize.

The half is over and the lights come on, Salomian El Karnoi breathes, "The whole half I felt stressed, because of the tension, we believe from Morocco, there is a fun atmosphere here," he says.
