Israeli ambassador to Netherlands recalled after critical remarks on ministers

Ambassador Tzvi Aviner was summoned back to Israel after making unusual critical comments about Israeli ministers in Dutch media, attacking Ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich and describing settlers in Judea and Samaria as ‘hooligans who belong in jail’. Despite his criticism of government figures, Aviner supported the Gaza war effort. The incident triggered a diplomatic row and questions about ambassadorial conduct.
