Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar summoned Dutch Ambassador Marriët Schuurman for a formal reprimand in response to actions taken by the Dutch government against Israel. Sa'ar criticized the Dutch government's recent policies, claiming they fuel antisemitism and harm the prospects for a ceasefire in Gaza. He argued that pressure should be directed at Hamas rather than Israel and rejected attempts to influence Israeli policy through external pressure. Sa'ar expressed regret over the deterioration of relations, emphasizing that Israel values its friendship with the Dutch people despite the current tensions.
