    Netanyohooo even said he was going to deploy troops to go get the fans

    That’s an odd statement. Like… get their troops marching on a foreign country to defend their hooligans and extract them back home? If not, then what?

    Odd. Really odd.

      No, the plan was to send military evacuation flights. I think it ended up not happening in the end.

      Yeah, Netanyihoo is odd, and this should have caused much more outrage than it did. But “antisemitism”.

      The prime minister said he ordered the sending of two rescue planes to the Netherlands to evacuate the fans.

      The Israeli military said it was preparing to deploy a rescue mission with the coordination of Dutch authorities.

      However, the military’s international spokesperson Nadav Shoshani later said on X the mission would not be departing to Amsterdam
