“Absolutely unacceptable anti-Semitic attacks on Israelis. I am in close contact with all parties involved. I just spoke with Netanyahu and emphasized that those responsible will be found and held accountable. The capital is calm at the moment,” wrote Dick Shoof.
Recall that after the match in Amsterdam, pro-Palestinian activists attacked Israelis. They targeted lone men and asked where they were from, or simply assaulted them. At least 10 people were beaten, and one was thrown into a canal. The clashes were widespread and occurred in almost all areas of the Dutch capital. In some cases, the attackers used cold weapons.
Tens of Israelis are injured, and some are unaccounted for.
