Violence broke out in Amsterdam last night after Thursday's football match between Dutch Ajax and Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Israeli media report that Israeli fans were attacked by people shouting Palestinian slogans. Ten Israelis are said to have been injured, according to Israel's Foreign Ministry, as reported by Haaretz.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered two planes to bring home Israeli fans and spoke with the Netherlands' Prime Minister Dick Schoof on Friday morning.
"Completely unacceptable anti-Semitic attacks on Israelis. I have been in contact with all parties involved," Schoof writes on X after the conversation.
The perpetrators will be tracked down and prosecuted, he emphasizes. According to the Dutch police, there was unrest in several parts of the city from early evening, and 57 people have been arrested.
The atmosphere became tense when several hundred supporters of the Tel Aviv team gathered on a square in the afternoon, according to a police statement. About ten of the arrests took place in connection with this.
The police later moved a demonstration against the Israeli team's arrival at the football arena, following a decision by the city's mayor. In connection with this, the police were fired at with fireworks, and another 30 people were arrested, according to the police.
