Following the attacks on a synagogue in Rotterdam and a Jewish school in Amsterdam, Israeli President Herzog held telephone calls with leaders of the Jewish community in the Netherlands.

Stating that it is completely unacceptable that the historic Jewish community in the Netherlands is still facing violent antisemitism, Herzog said, "Efforts to combat antisemitism, hate speech and terrorism against the Jewish community must be intensified."

Herzog also sent a message of solidarity from Jerusalem to the Jewish community in the Netherlands, saying, “We stand with you in the face of this antisemitism.”
