Newly appointed Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar will depart for an official visit to the Netherlands in the coming hours, following an attack on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam, the Foreign Ministry says.
During the visit, Sa’ar will meet with his Dutch counterpart Caspar Veldkamp and other senior government officials.
He will stress the urgent need to fight against antisemitism during meetings with Dutch officials, the statement says, adding that “the new antisemitism targets Israel and Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.”
He will also meet with Israelis in Amsterdam and members of the Dutch Jewish community.
