Amsterdam’s response to attacks

The Amsterdam mayor, Femke Halsema, condemned violent attacks on Israeli football fans in the city during a Europa League match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax. BBC says Halsema linked the incident to historical pogroms, and urged change.

ESPN says Mayor Halsema didn't stop at condemning the attacks: Dutch authorities arrested 62 amid increasing antisemitic incidents.

JPost says critics weren't satisfied with that, though: They demanded Mayor Halsema's resignation over her failure to protect Israeli fans.

For what it's worth, The Hill says attacks on Israeli fans in Amsterdam triggered global condemnation. President Biden described the attacks as “despicable”.
