The Netherlands has flagged Israel as a national security risk for the first time. This comes straight from the Dutch counterterrorism agency’s latest threat assessment, highlighting foreign meddling
The National Coordinator for Terrorism and Security (NCTV) put out the report on July 17th, and lists Israel alongside Iran, Russia, and Turkey as part of the Netherland’s Threat Assessment of State Actors 2025.
The list evaluates threats posed by other states to the Netherlands, especially focusing on espionage, economic pressure, and military threats.
The NCTV included Israel in a section called ‘Subversive Influence to Alter Public Perception,’ writing that “Israel is also attempting to influence political and public opinion abroad, including in the Netherlands.”
The report also noted that Israel influenced public opinion directly by sending documents to Dutch journalists and politicians instead of using proper diplomatic channels.
The incident highlighted was the Ajax Amsterdam versus Maccabi Tel Aviv football match in Amsterdam last year, where Israeli fans were attacked before and after the attack.
The Gateway Pundit reported on this earlier.
