Hollands Sympathy Towards "Israel" in Decline

""Israel" has been slowly losing its allies around the world, but it seems that even those countries with a special relationship with the Jewish state are steadily growing their distance," "Israeli" newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Tuesday.

An internal document prepared by the "Israeli" foreign ministry and obtained by the paper's website "Ynet" shows that the Netherlands joined the list of countries whose support for "Israel" has been on a constant decrease.

According to the document, "In recent years there has been a decline in the historic support for "Israel" among the Dutch public. The Netherlands is a country that places human rights high on its international agenda, as well as the issue of international law."

"The prolonged conflict between "Israel" and the Palestinians as well as the negative coverage of Dutch media have been the central factors leading to the declining support," the document noted.
