The match took place under heightened security measures due to recent anti-Semitic violence in Amsterdam. 4,000 police and security personnel have been deployed at the stadium, with another 1,500 stationed near public transport to ensure order.
Let’s recall that on November 8 in the Netherlands, clashes took place between Israeli fans and pro-Palestinian activists after the match between the Israeli club Maccabi and the Dutch Ajax. In Israel, they call it a “pogrom.”
Dutch police detained 281 people at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in the center of the capital Amsterdam, despite a ban on protests.
