00:00Well, let's say that I'm ashamed that this happened in the Netherlands and it's a terrible
00:07anti-Semitic attack and we will not tolerate and we will prosecute the perpetrators and
00:13I'm deeply ashamed that it could happen in the Netherlands in 2024.
00:17The message to Israel is that I hope that the Israeli will come to the Netherlands still
00:22because we do everything we can to make them feel safe and secure in the Netherlands and
00:28that's what we're acting upon.
00:29Well, there are always problems around football matches and a football match regarding an
00:34Israeli team also has special attention from the police but the things that happened this
00:41night, this evening, of last night are just terrible, horrific and as I said, I'm utterly
00:47ashamed of that that happened in the Netherlands.
