Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof announced plans to visit Israel before traveling to the NATO summit in Turkey, according to an N12 report by commentator Tomer Almagor on Sunday evening. The timing and agenda of the visit were not immediately specified. The NATO summit, set to take place in Ankara, has been a focus of diplomatic maneuvering: as The Zioneer has reported, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan previously said that U.S. President Donald Trump's attendance is 'important for alliance unity,' and Trump has hinted at a possible F-35 deal during a visit. Schoof's stop in Israel adds a bilateral dimension ahead of the multilateral gathering.
