Geert Wilders, the head of the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, is currently in Israel, where he met with several prominent Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, Defense Minister Israel Katz, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Energy Minister Eli Cohen, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, and Science and Technology Minister Gila Gamliel.
Following his meeting with Netanyahu, Wilders took to X to express his admiration for Israel’s efforts against Hamas and Hezbollah over the past year. He wrote, “Just spoke to Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu of Israel in Jerusalem and told him that in 1 year – by crushing Hamas, pulverizing Hezbollah and significantly weakening Iran – he has done more to fight (international) terrorism than the EU has done in the last 70 years!”
Wilders has been a consistent and vocal ally of Israel, frequently showing his strong support. In October, after Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a threat against Israel in Hebrew on X, Wilders responded with harsh words. “You are a psychopath, a dangerous maniac, a sick person who will lose because logic, democracy and freedom will win and we will always support Israel,” Wilders wrote to Khamenei.
Earlier, in May, Wilders delivered a passionate address at the Dutch Parliament in favor of Israel. He spoke out against radical Muslim groups, declaring that they “are out to destroy the Jewish State and kill its inhabitants.” He went on to say, “And for me and my political party, it is not difficult to see with whom we stand in solidarity. Are we with the Jewish people, who are fighting for their existence, or are we with Islamic extremists, terrorist scum who want to exterminate them? And I tell you, until the very end, I support the State of Israel.”
