Netherlands: Minor Damage from Attack on Jewish School in Amsterdam - Israel Speaks of Wave of Antisemitism

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned a “wave of antisemitism” in the Netherlands following an explosion outside a Jewish school in Amsterdam. The explosion caused minor property damage, but no one was injured. The Mayor of Amsterdam described the incident as a “deliberate attack against the Jewish community” and announced that security measures would be increased at Jewish institutions. The statement from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed concern over the rise in antisemitic attacks in the Netherlands and called on the Dutch government to take more decisive action to combat antisemitism. The incident comes days after a synagogue was set on fire in Rotterdam, which had already led to increased security measures at Jewish sites in the Dutch capital. The Dutch government has not yet commented on Israel’s accusations, but is expected to react to the incident and consider further measures to protect the Jewish community.
