US President Joe Biden condemns last night’s “antisemitic attacks” on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam, calling them “despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted.”

“We’ve been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable,” the president tweets. “We must relentlessly fight Antisemitism, wherever it emerges.”
