The King of the Netherlands, King Willem-Alexander, has spoken to Israeli President Isaac Herzog about last night's violence in Amsterdam.
He told Herzog that both he and his wife are shocked by the violence.
"We cannot turn a blind eye to antisemitic behaviour in our streets," the king says, adding that history "has taught us how intimidation goes from bad to worse, with horrific consequences".
"Jews must feel safe in the Netherlands, everywhere and at all times. We put our arms around them and will not let them go."
