57 people were detained in relation to attacks on Israeli football fans in Amsterdam. Riot police had to intervene to stop physical and verbal attacks before the Europa League match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax.

According to BBC news, Israeli football fans faced violent attacks in central Amsterdam, prompting Dutch riot police to intervene multiple times. Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned these “antisemitic attacks.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced two “rescue planes” would be sent to Amsterdam.

Despite heavy police presence, Israeli fans were reportedly injured across the city as they traveled to attend a Europa League match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax. The clashes started in Dam Square with arrests and disturbances involving Maccabi fans and pro-Palestinian protesters and escalated following the game, with reports of fireworks, damaged property, and physical assaults circulating on social media.

Social media footage depict a man being kicked and beaten and another video shows someone being run over. Other videos include people shouting pro-Palestine slogans.

Dutch authorities detained 57 individuals, although officials indicated the identities of those involved in the riots were unclear. Videos shared online showed violent confrontations, with pro-Palestinian slogans heard in the background.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Dutch politician Geert Wilders, known for his anti-Islam rhetoric, both described the events as a “pogrom,” otherwise known as an organised massacre of a specific group of people. Wilders criticised the response from Dutch authorities, stating that "authorities will be held accountable for their failture to protect the Israeli citizens."

Israeli officials urged citizens to stay in their hotels, and the US special envoy on antisemitism, Deborah Lipstadt, expressed horror, noting the violence occurred just days before the anniversary of the 1938 Nazi pogrom against Jews in Germany.
