Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof on Friday condemned last night's violence against Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam as a “terrible anti-Semitic attack” and said he was “deeply ashamed.”

“It is a terrible anti-Semitic attack. We won't tolerate him. We will prosecute the perpetrators. And I am deeply ashamed that something like this could happen in the Netherlands in 2024,” Schoof told reporters on the sidelines of an EU state and government meeting in Budapest.
