Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp will not be coming to Israel next week, after saying that The Netherlands would arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he set foot in the country in the wake of the ICC issuing arrests warrants against the premier.

Gideon Sa’ar speaks with Velkamp, and the two agree that the visit will not take place, according to Sa’ar’s office.

Sa’ar also expresses his disappointment at Velkamp’s comments, and presents Israel’s position on the warrants for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
