Dutch far-right leader Wilders to meet with visiting Sa’ar, Ohana to discuss attack on Maccabi fans
Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders will meet new Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport later today following attacks on Israeli soccer supporters in the city, Dutch news agency ANP reports.
Sa’ar and Ohana decided to fly to Amsterdam after overnight attacks on Israeli soccer supporters by what its mayor called “antisemitic hit-and-run squads”.
Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof had been attending a summit of European Union leaders in Budapest when the events happened, but told reporters that he would leave the summit early this afternoon to return to the Netherlands.
It was not yet clear if Sa’ar will also meet with Schoof.
