The National Security Council said that the claims criticizing its performance before disturbances against Israelis in Amsterdam on Friday are baseless. The statement says that "before the disturbances, no information was received from any of the organizations to raise travel warnings." However, hours before the disturbances, the Diaspora Affairs Ministry issued an unusual warning about a "violent pro-Palestinian demonstration" that is expected to be held near the soccer game of Maccabi Tel Aviv against Ajax in Amsterdam.
