Phil Rosenberg, President of the Board of Deputies, said: "The horrifying scenes in Amsterdam last night, where Jewish and Israeli football fans attending the Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv game were attacked, should shock us all.

"We want to see peace exported to the Middle East. Those who import violence instead must be met with the full force of the law.

"We will be speaking to UK police and Government over the coming hours and days to ensure there can be no repeat here in the UK. We will also be engaging with the Dutch Embassy to ensure that they understand the gravity of what has occurred.

"I have been in touch with Ruben Vis, CEO of the Dutch Jewish Community, to offer our full support."
