Amsterdam Faces International Condemnation Following Antisemitic Attacks on Israeli Soccer Fans

In response to violent attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam, the city has implemented a three-day ban on protests as security measures tighten around Jewish sites. The Dutch king remarked on the failure to protect the Jewish community, drawing parallels to the Second World War. The attacks, which left several fans hospitalized, have sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from international leaders, including U.S. President Biden. Amid concerns of orchestrated violence, local law enforcement reported over 60 arrests connected to the incidents. Eyewitness accounts describe horrifying scenes as rioters targeted fans, leading to urgent evacuations and emergency flights for those affected. The violence has reignited discussions regarding the safety of Jewish communities in Europe and the rising tide of antisemitism.
