thanking the Dutch for their 500,000 EURO contribution to the
Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) for 2007 to Roger van
Laak, Senior Policy Officer at the Dutch MFA's Department of
Middle East and North African Affairs. Van Laak confirmed
the Dutch pledge and expressed appreciation for the positive
feedback. In response to POLCOUNS' request that the Dutch
remain open to making additional contributions in the future,
van Laak laughed and said he had "no doubt" that the Israelis
and Egyptians "won't lose our phone number." He added that
the Dutch have a long history of supporting MFO, and would
remain involved in ensuring its success.
