Rotterdam city hall flies Israeli flag in solidarity with terror victims

The Israeli flag was flown from Rotterdam city hall in the Netherlands on Monday evening in a show of solidarity with the Jewish state after a terror attack in Jerusalem killed four IDF soldiers on Sunday.

The decision to fly the flag was taken by acting mayor Joost Eerdmans, leader of the right-leaning and pro-Israel Liveable Rotterdam party.

Founded in 2001, Liveable Rotterdam is affiliated with the movement started by the late politician Pim Fortuyn, who was murdered in 2002 by a far-left activist.
