Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders called on Friday for the deportation of Muslim rioters involved in attacks on Israelis in Amsterdam, condemning what he described as a “Jew hunt” on city streets.
"Looks like a Jew hunt in the streets of Amsterdam. Arrest and deport the multicultural scum that attacked Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters in our streets. Ashamed that this can happen in The Netherlands. Totally unacceptable," Wilders wrote on X
Wilders criticized authorities, saying they would be held accountable for failing to protect Israeli citizens.
Meanwhile, the IDF announced preparations to send planes with medical teams to extract Israelis from Amsterdam following the violence.

"The IDF Homefront Command will lead the rescue mission with the cooperation of various IDF directorates, branches, and Israeli security authorities," the military said in a statement.
The Transportation Ministry said that it has directed Israeli airlines El Al and Israir to add three additional flights to Amsterdam to expedite the evacuation of Israelis. Three regularly scheduled flights are expected to operate as planned.
