Netherlands’s far-right election winner Geert Wilders says he met Israeli President Herzog and pledged his full support to Israel in its fight against “terror”, Al Jazeera reports.

Wilders, who is aiming to lead a new government after his nationalist PVV party won elections in November, has long been a staunch supporter of Israel.

“I told him I am proud that he visits the Netherlands and that Israel has, and always will have, my full support in its fight against terror,” Wilders said in a post on X.
