Dick Schoof, a former spy chief, has been sworn in as the new Prime Minister of the Netherlands, leading a right-wing coalition government with a mission to implement the "strictest-ever" immigration policy in the country. [1] Schoof, a 67-year-old former head of the Dutch Secret Service, has vowed to "decisively" implement the coalition's plans to tighten asylum and migration policies. [1] The new government's 26-page coalition agreement, titled "Hope, courage and pride", also calls for examining the idea of moving the Dutch embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. [1] Schoof has said he aims to be "a prime minister for all Dutch citizens", but he will face the challenge of keeping the shaky coalition partners on track and managing potential conflicts with the influential far-right leader Geert Wilders.
