Dutch police arrested 57 people after clashes between Israeli and pro-Palestinian football fans in Amsterdam, with the leaders of the Netherlands and Israel condemning the “anti-Semitic” violence.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Dutch counterpart Dick Schoof after Thursday night’s attacks and said he was sending two “rescue planes” to help Israeli citizens. The Israeli foreign ministry said 10 people were injured.
