The Netherlands is increasing pressure on Israel regarding its actions in Gaza, marking a shift for a traditionally supportive ally. Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp criticized Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid as a violation of international law and called for a review of the EU-Israel trade deal. The Dutch government plans to veto any extension of the agreement until Israel complies with humanitarian principles. This stance follows pressure from aid organizations, and while some ministers support Veldkamp, there is internal criticism from political figures like Geert Wilders. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
