Antisemitic slogans including “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas” were chanted by a crowd in The Hague after Morocco’s World Cup quarter-final defeat to France, while separate post-match disorder in central London left a Metropolitan Police officer in hospital and four people under arrest.
Videos circulating on social media showed a crowd gathered in the Dutch city’s Schilderswijk district following France’s 2-0 victory on Thursday evening. People could be heard chanting “All Jews are gay” and “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas” while Palestinian flags were waved.
Local reports said community volunteers initially attempted to disperse the crowd before Dutch police arrived in large numbers, bringing the unrest to an end less than an hour after the match.

Claims circulating on social media that the crowd had gathered outside accommodation used by Israeli tourists could not be substantiated. Footage from the scene appeared to show demonstrators outside a health clinic rather than a hotel or guesthouse.
