Four given jail terms for Amsterdam violence against football fans

I can well understand that the Jewish community in Amsterdam was left afraid because of this violence, but that's different from saying that was the goal of the suspects,

he told Amsterdam's AT5 TV channel earlier this month

Following the directive of the political echelon, the IDF mission will not be departing to Amsterdam,

the IDF said in a statement provided to Newsweek

Following the severe incidents of violence against Israelis in Amsterdam, under the guidance of the political echelon and following the assessment of the situation, the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] immediately prepared to send out a rescue mission in coordination with the Dutch government."

In November, the Israeli military initially wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter

It seems that the violence arose from strong pro-Palestine sentiments and dissatisfaction with the situation in Gaza, and related anger against the Israelis present,

the prosecutor's office said in a statement after hearings ended two weeks ago

The violence was influenced by the situation in Gaza, not by anti-Semitism,

said the prosecutor

But the court finds that, given the seriousness of the offense and the context in which it was committed, only imprisonment is appropriate,

she said
