The aerial ballet continues between the Netherlands and Israel. Two new planes will repatriate, on Saturday November 9, Israeli supporters still in shock after the events that occurred on the sidelines of the football match between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Dutch police have arrested 62 people since Thursday evening.
Around ten individuals, including some minors, were incarcerated. Officially, the Dutch police block all communication. But according to local media, video surveillance images have already allowed police to arrest a 26-year-old man, recognized as hitting an Israeli supporter to the ground. A special investigation unit has been set up. Five people were briefly hospitalized.
This violence in the Dutch capital started on Wednesday evening, well before this football match.
Some of the suspects are minors. According to information from the local press, they were traveling with scooters in the city following the broadcast of a message on social networks, launched by dpro-Palestinian activists several hours before the match. The message, read more than 10,000 times, invited people to walk around Amsterdam train station wearing boxing gloves.
This call to hatred would also have been relayed via taxi drivers.
This violence in Amsterdam revives concerns around the France-Israel match, scheduled for Thursday November 14 at the Stade de France. Bruno Retailleau firmly opposed relocation of this meeting. “France is not backing down, because that would amount to abdicating in the face of threats of violence and anti-Semitism,” wrote the Minister of the Interior on X (formerly Twitter).
