Netherlands will look into "appropriate timing" for moving its embassy to Jerusalem, according to a finalized coalition agreement to form a government, per the Times of Israel.

The agreement comes after the electoral gains of Geert Wilder's Party of Freedom last election. After many months of negotiations, his party and others have agreed to form a government, subject to a number of conditions including Wilders not himself becoming Prime Minister.
