Foreign minister Frans Timmermans has closed his Facebook page following a stream of negative comments about his foreign policy, the Telegraaf reports.


In particular, posts about the conflict between Israel and Palestine drew strong reactions, the paper said.
The minister already warned at the weekend he was considering dropping the page because ‘boundaries are being broken’.
