Dutch King Willem-Alexander condemned the antisemitic attacks on Israeli football fans in Amsterdam, stating, "We failed the Jewish community during football attacks like we did in WW2." The violence occurred after Maccabi Tel Aviv’s match with Ajax, leaving 30 fans injured. Amsterdam’s mayor, Femke Halsema, called the incidents “hit-and-run” attacks and a "dark day" for the city. Dutch authorities have arrested 62 individuals, with Israel pledging to bring the attackers to justice. Security has been heightened, and the violence has raised alarm over rising antisemitism in Europe.
