According to the Ministry of General Affairs, there are no flag instructions. Municipalities can decide for themselves whether to hang flags and which flag to hang, in response to the latest violence. The department itself will raise the Israeli flag in the Binnenhof tomorrow morning. The ministry of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte wants to show support for Israel after the Hamas attack, which has already left hundreds dead. Israel itself has responded with attacks on Gaza and officially declared a state of war.
