In response to the unrest, Israeli authorities quickly coordinated with Dutch officials to ensure the safety of their citizens, sending evacuation planes to bring fans and Israeli nationals back home.
While no serious injuries were reported, several arrests were made as authorities worked to restore order and protect public safety.

“There is a strain of radical Islam, also around the world we’ve seen from Europe to the United States, that is all too willing to embrace this radical, Jew-hating philosophy,” Cohanim said. “Reports from our own U.S. intelligence agencies indicate that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been funding pro-Hamas activities we’ve seen on our college campuses and in our city streets. Iran is the leading state sponsor of antisemitism globally.”
