Foreign Ministry says Dutch cops arrested suspect for attempted arson of Israeli embassy

The Foreign Ministry says an assailant who tried to break into the Israeli Embassy in the Netherlands and set it ablaze has been arrested by Dutch authorities.

No Israeli staffers at the diplomatic mission in The Hague were hurt.

Israeli envoy to the UN Danny Danon decries “the abhorrent attempt to set fire to the Israeli embassy.”

“Hatred and violence will not deter us — the Israeli flag will continue to fly proudly around the world,” he adds.
