Ben Gvir says Israeli authorities working with Dutch counterparts to investigate attack on Israeli soccer fans

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says that he has been in “constant contact” with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and the Israel Police after fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer club were violently assaulted in the Dutch city by an apparent pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel mob.

Israeli authorities are working with their Dutch counterparts to “rescue the Israeli citizens and to investigate the severe lynching incident,” he says.

He adds that the assault is “a warning sign to all European countries against radical Muslim violence.”

“Those who turn a blind eye to Islamic terrorism in the Middle East will encounter it at home in Europe and in the West,” Ben Gvir says. “Today the victims were Israelis, tomorrow it could be Europeans.”
