Reaction to article in Dutch newspaper NRC

News item | 16-11-2023 | 13:55

The embassy has received many questions about the NRC article published on November 13th. We want to stress that the article provides a selective and incomplete picture of our internal report. The response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is as follows:


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken note of the article published in the Dutch newspaper NRC, on November 13th, about Israel.

The article is based on parts of a confidential report from the Embassy. It provides a selective and incomplete picture that does not reflect the Dutch policy in any way. Our collegues at Embassies must be able to do their work properly, professionally and with integrity. They have the full support of the Ministry.

It is utterly unacceptable that they are hindered in their work due to such reporting in the media.
