Foreign Min. no longer visiting Israel after ICC issues arrest warrant for Netanyahu
A planned visit by Minister Caspar Veldkamp to Israel is no longer happening. A spokesperson for the Ministry told NOS that the decision not to go was made in “mutual consultation,” but Israel reports that the invitation was withdrawn after Veldkamp said that the Netherlands intended to respect the arrest warrant the International Criminal Court issued for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant.
