Anti-Semitic violence
Maccabi game against Besiktas moved to Hungary
A few days after violent clashes between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and Israeli fans in Amsterdam, the European Football Union (UEFA) has moved Maccabi Tel Aviv's next away game in the Europa League to neutral territory.
The clash on November 28 against the traditional Istanbul club Besiktas will take place in the Hungarian city of Debrecen. According to a decision by the Hungarian authorities, spectators will not be permitted.
In the night from Thursday to Friday, there were targeted attacks on Israeli fans after the game at Ajax Amsterdam. The attacks were condemned worldwide as anti-Semitic violence. A total of 62 people were arrested around the match. There had already been clashes between Israeli fans and pro-Palestinian Dutch fans before the match. According to the police, Maccabi supporters had also rioted and provoked the crowd.
