The attacks on Israeli fans after a football match in Amsterdam last week were a "poisonous cocktail" of anti-Semitism and hooligan behaviour, the city's mayor said on Tuesday.

Mayor Femke Halsema was speaking at an emergency meeting of the Amsterdam city council days after the Dutch capital was rocked by violence between Israeli football fans and men on scooters in several areas of the city.

Israel's government Friday said it sent two rescue planes to Amsterdam to evacuate its citizens who were injured in an outbreak of violence linked to a Europa League soccer game. Israeli and Dutch officials described the incident as antisemitic attacks.
