Continued Violence in Amsterdam Following Football Match Sparks Arrests
Dutch authorities have made five new arrests linked to violent unrest in Amsterdam that erupted after a Europa League match involving Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv. Rioters attacked an empty tram, causing damage and sparking concerns over antisemitic sentiments, with reports of pro-Palestinian slogans among the perpetrators. Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned the antisemitic violence, emphasizing the importance of justice for the affected communities. This unrest marks a troubling escalation amid rising antisemitic incidents across Europe, coinciding with heightened tensions related to the Gaza conflict.
