(Prime Minister's Office) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte in The Hague on Tuesday. Netanyahu said: "There is a fateful battle that is raging today in the entire world, between the forces of peace and the forces of terror, between the forces of democracy and the force of tyranny, between modernity and medievalism. Israel and The Netherlands stand together for peace, democracy and modernity." "Radical Islamist terrorists are spreading murder and misery across the Middle East and now deep into Europe as well....If militant Islam is not stopped at the Middle East, the refugee crisis will only get worse. So all civilized nations must band together to defeat this scourge." "In the fight against Islamist terror...Israel is not only defending itself, Israel is also helping to defend Europe."
