#Amsterdam - police says it will arrest people defying demonstration ban: Al Jazeera English

10 November 2024

Police have clashed with protesters in the Dutch capital, Amsterdam and several people have been arrested as security forces try to prevent demonstrations. Protesters were rallying against the portrayal of Thursday's streets violence in the city between Israeli football fans and local people as anti-Semitic.

Authorities imposed a three-day ban on protests starting Friday following violence between supporters of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv and Palestinian solidarity protesters. The violence started after fans of the Israeli side tore down Palestinian flags and chanted racist slogans ahead of a match in Amsterdam.

Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen has the latest from Amsterdam.

Israeli protesters marked 400 days since the hostages were taken when Hamas militants attacked southern Israel on October 7 last year.

They protested once again on Saturday as they do every week.

In an interview with Middle East Eye, Marwan Muasher, Jordan’s former foreign minister, says that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s idea of Arab states accepting Israel amid ongoing tensions in the region is unrealistic.


Muasher said that the “Zionist project” is failing to fulfil its promise of a democratic and peaceful Jewish state and that “Israel is increasingly undemocratic,” peaceful, or secular. He also argued that the only way for peace is for Israel to end its occupation.
