The attacks on Israeli fans after a football match in Amsterdam last week were a "poisonous cocktail" of anti-Semitism and hooligan behaviour, the city's mayor said on Tuesday.

Israel's government Friday said it sent two rescue planes to Amsterdam to evacuate its citizens who were injured in an outbreak of violence linked to a Europa League soccer game. Israeli and Dutch officials described the incident as antisemitic attacks.

There will be a heavy police presence but few visiting fans at Thursday’s soccer match between France and Israel in the Nations League, with authorities in Paris on high alert amid an increasingly tense political climate.
