**Dutch Prime Minister Cancels UN Trip Amid Antisemitic Violence in Amsterdam**

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof has decided to forgo a scheduled visit to the United Nations climate talks in Azerbaijan, choosing instead to remain in the Netherlands to address the repercussions of violent assaults on Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans in Amsterdam. The attacks, described by officials as antisemitic, occurred on Thursday night and have prompted widespread condemnation.

In a social media post, Schoof announced the decision and revealed that the government would address the Thursday night incidents at a Cabinet meeting on Monday. He also mentioned plans for discussions on combating antisemitism scheduled for Tuesday.

Amsterdam witnessed significant unrest when groups of young individuals carried out what the city’s mayor referred to as "hit-and-run" attacks on fans, motivated by online calls to target Jewish people. The violent episodes resulted in five individuals requiring hospital treatment and the arrest of more than 60 suspects.

Among those apprehended, four suspects—including two minors—remained in custody as of Saturday and were expected to be formally charged in the following week. Prosecutors anticipate additional arrests as they continue to review footage from the incident.

The investigation has also included efforts from Israeli law enforcement, who collaborated with Dutch authorities. Israeli police reported gathering statements and forensic evidence from over 230 victims and 170 witnesses, who returned on multiple flights from Amsterdam.

In addition to the police probe, the Dutch government is conducting an independent inquiry to determine if prior warnings from Israeli officials about potential violence were overlooked before the Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Dutch Justice and Security Minister David van Weel communicated this to lawmakers, noting the investigation’s focus on the period leading up to the match.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar visited the Netherlands on Friday and offered support for the ongoing police investigation. He also met with Prime Minister Schoof and Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp. Following the meeting, Schoof reiterated the Dutch government's commitment to ensuring the safety of the Jewish community in the Netherlands.

Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema noted that the match had not been considered high-risk by the Netherlands' counterterrorism watchdog, which had identified no "concrete threat" to Israeli fans before the game. Despite this, a pro-Palestinian demonstration outside the Johan Cruyff Arena, where the match took place, was prohibited by city authorities. Video footage from the scene showed Israeli fans chanting anti-Arab slogans en route to the game, which was followed by violent pursuits from youths on scooters and on foot targeting Israeli fans.
