Israelis fleeing to Netherlands
As the war in Israel and the Gaza Strip continues, hundreds of Israelis are fleeing to the Netherlands, according to De Telegraaf.
Hundreds of Israelis are fleeing to the Netherlands because of the war, the owner of the largest firm that arranges migration procedures for Israeli citizens confirmed to De Telegraaf. On online forums and closed Facebook groups, hundreds of people in Israel are looking for tips and help in coming to the Netherlands.
Requests for support are pouring in at Eisenmann & Ravestijn Advocaten in Amsterdam, a law firm with a large client base from Israel. “The number of applications has been enormous for the past ten days,” Ronnie Eisenmann told the newspaper. “There is a lot of fear. People are terribly confused; they come here in shock. We are also in shock.”
The requests they’re receiving are only the tip of the iceberg, according to the firm. Many people flee without seeking professional help. People with Israeli passports can come to the Netherlands visa-free for 90 days.
