Netanyahu calls on Netherlands ‘to act decisively and swiftly against the rioters’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says the premier has called for two planes to be dispatched to Amsterdam to bring back Israelis after fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer club were violently assaulted in the Dutch city by an apparent pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel mob.
A statement from the PMO quotes Netanyahu calling on Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof and local security forces “to act decisively and swiftly against the rioters, and to ensure the wellbeing of our citizens.”
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon denounces the violence as “a pogrom.”
“These are the true faces of the supporters of the radical terrorism we are fighting. The Western world needs to wake up now!!” he writes in a post on X.
