The Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar He resigned tonight, after a fruitless debate to the cabinet on possible sanctions against Israel, the ANP reported.
“I notice that I am not able to take significant additional measures” to exert pressure on Israel, he noted.
On Thursday, Feldab said he wanted to impose additional measures against Israel. July had described as ‘unwanted faces’ in Netherlands the far -right Israeli ministers Italhamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotric.
The Netherlands is among the 21 countries that signed a joint declaration on Thursday with which the new Western Bank settlement of the West Bank from Israel as “unacceptable and contrary to international law”.
The minister said that the measures he himself proposed were “seriously discussed” but encountered resistance to successive cabinets. Feldabab, who was already resigned after the fall of the government on June 3, has now decided to retire, considering that he would not be able to “act as a foreign minister in the coming weeks, months and years”.
The government of Prime Minister Dick Schoff continues its work as a service until the elections to be held in late October.
