"The President noted that last night's events echoed dark and grim times for the Jewish people and must be unequivocally condemned. He urged that every possible measure be taken on the streets of Amsterdam to halt this terrible wave of antisemitic hatred. The President emphasized this expectation and demanded that the Dutch authorities would do everything possible to ensure the safety of Jews and Israelis in the country," the statement read. The Dutch king, in turn, strongly condemned the attack on Israeli football fans and promised that the Dutch government would do everything possible to ensure the safety of Israelis and facilitate their safe return to Israel, according to the statement. On Thursday night, a series of attacks against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans occurred in Amsterdam, following the Europa League game against the local team Ajax. Media reported, citing the Israeli Foreign Ministry, that at least 10 Israelis were injured. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof described the anti-Semitic nature of the attacks as unacceptable. Geert Wilders, the leader of the right-wing Freedom Party, called for the arrest and deportation of those responsible for the attacks.
