On August 12, 2025, the Israeli embassy in The Hague, Netherlands, was vandalized by three individuals who smashed the glass doors and poured red paint on the entrance. The attack was reportedly a protest against Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed the incident, describing the damage to the embassy's gate and entrance. Dutch police subsequently arrested three suspects in connection with the vandalism. Following the incident, a leaked video revealed a reprimand by Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aati to the Egyptian ambassador to the Netherlands, Emad Hanna, criticizing the decision to lock the embassy doors amid the protests. The minister expressed frustration over the embassy's closure, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the country's image despite external activist demonstrations.
