JAKARTA - Israeli club supporter Maccabi Tel Aviv clashed with pro-Palestinian demonstrators before and after the Europa League match against Ajax Amsterdam outside Johan Cruyff Arena, Amsterdam, on Friday, November 8, 2024, early morning WIB.

The clashes reportedly occurred despite a pro-Palestinian demonstration ban imposed by Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema.

Femke Halsema had previously socialized the ban given its concerns about clashes between demonstrators and supporters of the Israeli club.

The details of the incident are still unclear. However, Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called his Dutch counterpart to talk about it.

Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, also condemned the violence in a post on social media X.

"We have received very disturbing reports of extreme violence against Israelis and Jews on Dutch roads. Dutch authorities must take firm action against terrorism now," wrote Danon.

There have been no immediate reports of arrests or injuries from clashes outside the Johan Cruyff Arena, Amsterdam.

Ajax won the Europa League match with a score of 5-0 against Maccabi Tel Aviv after taking a 3-0 lead in the first half.
