Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof will not participate in the COP29 climate meeting in Azerbaijan starting on Monday.
Dutch climate minister Sophie Hermans will participate in the meeting and act as a climate ambassador instead of Schoof, the prime minister wrote.
According to Schoof, the decision is related to the events of the night before Friday in Amsterdam.
The Israeli football team Maccabi Tel Aviv and the Dutch Ajax met on Thursday in a Europa League match.
After the tournament, Israeli soccer fans were subjected to several acts of violence.
At least 10 people were injured.
Schoof writes that the Council of Ministers will discuss the violence in Monday’s meeting.
