"We disappointed Dutch Jewry during the Holocaust, and tonight, we disappointed you again," the King of the Netherlands told Israel's President Herzog on Friday.
The two spoke after violent pogroms targeting Israeli soccer fans took place in Amsterdam, during which several were injured and three went missing.
King Willem-Alexander reportedly expressed disgust and shock at the attacks that took place in his country, promising Herzog that the Dutch government would do all in its power to protect Israeli visitors and ensure their safe return to Israel.
