For warnings that have been in place for two weeks, there is talk of the incidents in Amsterdam. In the press conference given by the trio of Amsterdam Authorities, i.e. the mayor of the city, the prosecutor as well as the local authorities, they say that these incidents have been announced for two weeks.

At the press conference, which began late due to fears of incidents outside Amsterdam’s city hall, the mayor admitted that the authorities had information about a plan to attack Israelis, noting that extra security measures had been taken.

In the images recorded on the videos, the police come after a holiday. There are groups of young Arab and Muslim religious, local residents, who move uncontrollably in the streets of the city and especially around the central square, the Dam of the city of Amsterdam, who start and make checks, attack individual Israeli fans.

The police chief in the interview referred to two incidents of fan clashes between Maccabi fans and local protesters around the central square, in which authorities managed to separate the warring camps. But in other cases, he said, this was not possible, as the groups of perpetrators, the attackers, were constantly on the move and communicated through messages on social media. However, at this time, the police chief says, the situation in the city has calmed down, but he also acknowledges that the Jewish visitors to the city who have stayed in Amsterdam, as they did not have time to catch their flights back to Tel Aviv , have every reason to feel unsafe, but a special operation has been set up to take them from their hotels and from where they have taken refuge to Amsterdam airport, where it is expected that within a few hours the first flight from Tel Aviv will arrive to take them back to their homeland.

A Greek living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, describes to SKAI the hellish night he lived, where the unprecedented and violent incidents took place with at least 5 injured and over 60 arrests.

It is noted that Israel denounced the pogrom of Jews, while the Dutch government also condemned the attack.
