Violence Erupts in Amsterdam After Soccer Match

Violence erupted in Amsterdam following a Europa League match between Maccabi Tel Aviv FC and Ajax, leading to attacks on Israeli citizens, which Israeli officials have described as anti-Semitic. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned the violence as 'unacceptable' and asserted that those responsible must be prosecuted, while he has been in contact with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the incident. Netanyahu has ordered two rescue planes to assist Israeli citizens in Amsterdam and advised them to remain in their hotel rooms for safety. Reports indicate that the violence escalated from a pro-Palestinian protest, with disturbing videos depicting assaults on individuals identified as Jewish. The situation remains fluid as both Israeli and Dutch officials seek to address the aftermath and ensure the safety of citizens involved. The nature of the attacks has drawn significant concern and condemnation from various leaders.
