Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday he had ordered the Mossad intelligence agency to draw up a plan to prevent unrest at events abroad following violence following a soccer match in Amsterdam.

“I have instructed the head of the Mossad (David Barnea) and other officials to prepare our approach, our alarm system and our organization for a new situation,” Netanyahu said in a video statement during a meeting at the Foreign Ministry, which is expected to oversee the evacuation of the Israelis from Amsterdam.
