President Isaac Herzog will depart for the Netherlands on Sunday, where he will meet with Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Austrian President Alexander van der Bellen.
According to the President’s office, his one-day visit will focus on efforts to release the hostages in Gaza, and on the rise of antisemitism after October 7.
Herzog will also participate in the inauguration of the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam, in the presence of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, van der Bellen, Rutte, German Bundestag President Manuela Schwesig, the mayor of Amsterdam, and Jewish leaders.
Herzog will meet with families of hostages visiting the country and will be accompanied by the family of Major (Res.) Yitzhar Hoffman, who was killed in battle in January. Hoffman’s family was saved from the Nazis by Dutch gentiles recognized as Righteous Among the Nations.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
