The government of Eritrea said that people from other countries pretended to be Eritreans who oppose the government during a fight in the city of Tel Aviv in Israel on Saturday.
About 140 people got hurt when the police tried to break up a fight between people who support and people who are against the Eritrean government.
The Eritrean embassy is saying that certain media and Israeli officials are portraying the Eritrean community in Israel in a negative way, and they believe this is not fair.
It started when activists requested Israeli authorities to cancel an event planned by Eritrea’s embassy.
The embassy didn’t mention any specific groups, but an Eritrean person on social media and a media outlet that supports the government claimed that ethnic Tigrayan Ethiopians are to blame.
