AMSTERDAM, Netherlands – Police in Amsterdam, Netherlands have arrested 62 people believed to be Arabs following attacks on fans of Israeli club, Maccabi Tel Aviv FC after their European League match with Ajax of Amsterdam at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Police say about five people were injured and hospitalized as result of the fracas, which appeared to have been instigated by the Maccabi Tel Aviv FC fans, who were singing and glorifying the massacres and genocide in Gaza.

Maccabi Tel Aviv FC was beaten 5-0 by Ajax but reports emerged that the Maccabi fans fanned embers of war before the encounter by singing anti-Arab songs and mocked the uncontrolled killing of children in Gaza in their songs and there after went from building to building pulling down and setting alight Palestinian flags which prompted the Arab mob to go for attack after the game.

They sang: “there are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left”, to the chagrin of the Arabs community.

Speaking after the encounter, Mayor of Amsterdam, Femke Halsema said the attacks were premeditated and that the attackers arrived the scene on scooters.

So far, some fans of the club have been declared missing.

During a visit to the situation room of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was updated and briefed on what is being done, on locating those who have not been in contact, and on the effort to bring the Israelis back to Israel.

The PM also spoke with Israeli Ambassador to the Netherlands, Modi Efraim and was updated from the field regarding the contacts with the Dutch government, and with civil authorities regarding the Israelis who have not been in contact and the fight against Islamic terrorism.

Speaking during the visit, Prime Minister Netanyahu said “Tomorrow, 86 years ago, was Kristallnacht, when Jews on European soil were attacked for being Jews. This has now recurred. This was marked yesterday in the streets of Amsterdam. This is what happened. There is only one difference: The State of the Jews has arisen. We need to deal with it.

“First of all, this puts us and them, the free countries and the Netherlands, in danger. This endangers not only us but also them. But first of all we need to deal with the danger to us. We cannot accept this”, he said.
