U.S. President Joe Biden condemned recent antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam, describing the incidents as 'despicable' and reminiscent of historical persecutions of Jews.

The attacks occurred when fans of Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club were ambushed after a match against AFC Ajax, with perpetrators reportedly shouting anti-Israel slogans and carrying Palestinian flags.

Biden expressed appreciation for the Dutch government's commitment to bringing the attackers to justice and stressed the importance of combating antisemitism globally.

The attacks coincided with the 86th anniversary of Kristallnacht, a pivotal event during the Nazi regime that led to the Holocaust.

In response, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced an aid mission, expressing determination to protect Jews worldwide.

Several Israeli fans were injured and reported missing passports amid the chaos, which unfolded as calls on social media incited violence against Jewish individuals.
