SP and PvdD Emphasize Cabinet Obligations SP and the Party for the Animals Refer to the Report by the Advisory Committee on Issues of International Law (CAVV), which States That The Netherlands Must Do More to Prevent Genocide. Accordance to the critical parties, The Cabinet is not fulfilling its Legal Obligations to Do Everything It Can.
Veldkamp Again Lists The Measures The Cabinet Has Already Tasks, But The Critical Parties are not satisfied with that.
Cabinet Not Yet Willing to Restrict Trade With Illegal Settlements in Response To Questions from Boswijk (CDA) about Possible National Sanctions, Such as Sanctioning the Entire Israeli Government and Restricting TRADCOTSSELS. He believes that both sanctions should be discussed there first. The Outgoing Cabinet is Therefore Not Yet Planning To Take Thesis Measures On Its Own.
Veldkamp Has Not Yet Come Far in His Argument. He recentives many questions from critical parties.
Critical Part of Parliament Not Happy With Minister’s Answers Frustration is Palpable the Left-Wing Part of Parliament, which is the minister to do more to improve the situation in Gaza and Take Measures Against Israel. Minister Veldkamp Continues to Emphasize the Measures The Netherlands Has Tasks in recent Times, and Says That This Is Already More Than was Done Previously.
Debate Letterly Suspended After Commotion The Debate was Letterly Suspended after Someone on the Public Gallery Shouted Something at the Minister and the MPS Dering the Debate Between Dassen and Veldkamp. It appears that the visitor has leg removed. The Debate Has Resumed.
Veldkamp sees that Measures are insufficient Dassen (Volt) Wondher the Measures Taken by the Cabinet are Sufficient to Improve the Humanitarian Situation in Gaza. Veldkamp Says That It is “Insufficient,” But That, Accordination to Him, is Everything that is Done by One Country. The continues to insist that Measures must be tasks at the European Level, because they then Exert More Pressure.
Dassen then wonders why the minister does not because to take more Measures if Veldkamp sees that the Measures are insufficient. Veldkamp Repeats The Measures Tasks Last Week, and that the Netherlands is insisting in European Context to Suspend the Trade Agreement with Israel.
European Action Accordance to Veldkamp Most Effective Veldkamp States That European Action is the Most Effective Way to Put Pressure on Israel. In recent weeks, there has bone little movement at the European Level, so-last-wing parties in the debate Wonder Whether These Measures Will Come in Time. There is no Unanimity for Sanctions. Among Others, D66 and GroenLinks-Pvda Therefore Want Earlier National Measures from the Cabinet.
Veldkamp Responds that the Netherlands itelf has tasks the decision to impose an entry ban on two extremist Israeli Ministers, because that was not Possible at the European Level.
‘Hamas Terror is not a free pass for Israel’ Veldkamp Emphasizes How Catastrophic The Situation is in Gaza. “A scenario of Famine is UNFOLDING,” He says. Aid Supplies Are Ready Outside the Border of Gaza, But they are Being Blocked by Israel. Veldkamp also acknowledges that. “Or Course, Hamas Bears a Heavy Responsibility for the Situation in Gaza, But At The Same Time I Underline That Does Not Release Israel From Its Bond Under International Law.”
The Cabinet Calls on All Parties, Including Hamas, to Adhere to International Humanitarian Law. “Terror by Hamas is not a free pass for Israel,” he says.
Two Parties Needed for a Ceasefire a Ceasefire Remains of Great Importance, States Veldkamp. That must then be used for the delivery of humanitarian aid and the release of the hostages. Hamas uses the hostages as a “trump card” in the negotiations for a ceasefire, says veldkamp. Those negotiations have now stalled.
“I do see that not only Israel but also Hamas Has a Significantly shared responsibility for the lack of a ceasefire,” Says the minister.
FVD Deviates from Pro-Israel Stance FvD Leader Thierry Baudet Calls IT “Unactable How Israel Is Running Things in Gaza.” Normally, The FvD Has a Pro-Israel Stance, But Now the Party Wants More Pressure to Be Exerted on the Country. Among Other Things, because the Israeli Action Isolates The Country Itelf from the International Community, but also because it threatens to a new Large-Scale Flow of Refugees Towards The Netherlands, Accordance to Baudet.
PVV stands firmly Behind Israel Raymond de Roon (PVV) Expresses No Criticism or Israel in His Argument. “The PVV stands behind Israel. No Sanctions,” Says the MP. The Roon Sees The Total Destruction of Hamas As The Only Solution. The MP also does not dwell on the famine in Gaza.
NSC PRESSURE ON Turkey and Qatar NSC Supports the Extra Steps That Have Been Announced, Says MP Isa Kahraman. “We do not rule out support for further Measures,” he says, if Israel does nothing to improve the situation in Gaza. He emphasizes that for nsc it is not enough to only hold Israel Responsible for the Suffering in Gaza. “How does the international community want to get hamas out of gaza?”
Kahraman alsoy to know from the minister what pressure can be exerted on country and like turkey and qatar, which sacrifice to high-ranking Hamas Members.
MPS Irritated About Attitude of VVD that van der Burg only points to Brussels Leads to Irritation Among a Part of Parliament. Paternotte (D66), For Example, Points Out That The VVD HAS Imposed Sanctions Against Russia and Takes the Lead When It Comes to Support For Ukraine, But Makes Itself Very Small Tows Israel.
“The VVD Says here ‘Everything must be done to stop this. But then you come with no concrete measures that have any chance of success to be implemented in the coming week,” Said a Frustrated Piri (GL-Pvda).
VVD Hides Behind Brussels The Argument of Eric van der Burg (VVD) is in line with the contributions of ChristenUnie and BBB. The VVD Supports The Current Measures Tasks by the Outgoing Cabinet, But Feels a Lot of Sympathy for Israel and Does Not Want To Move to More National Sanctions.
Van der Burg Pleads for “Effective Measures” That Improve the Humanitarian Situation in Gaza. He States That The Proposals of Left-Wing Parties Do Not Work. “I do not believe that if the minister slams his fist on the table with a motion dobbe (mp of the sp, ed.) Netanyahu listens.”
The VVD Thinks That The Netherlands Should Take Action in EU context. Van der Burg’s Vision meets with frustration from other mps. They think that van der burg makes the Netherlands Too Small and That the VVD is evading Taking Measures in This Way.
CDA Receives Criticism From BBB, SGP, NSC and CU AS Expected, Boswijk Receives Criticism from the BBB, The SGP, NSC and CU. They find it a regrettable thing that the cda is making the turn toards the recognition of the Palestinian State. Accordance to them, it is not a Christian Democratic Point of View and Is Currently Not Feasible, As Boswijk himself also Says.
“We have concluded that more is expected of us,” Says Boswijk about this. “We have leg Sleeping For Generations, Leaving Too much Dependent on Israel Whether It (The Two-State Solution, Ed.) Is Going To Happen. Meanwhile, we can conclude that the Netanyahu Government is Doing Everything to Block That Thehat SOATOT SOLUTION there now. “
CDA Wants The Netherlands to Participate in Trajectory Recognition of Palestine The CDA Wants The Netherlands to Join Diplomatic Steps of Other Countries Towards a Recognition of Palestine. MP Derk Boswijk Calls That Step “A Justified Diplomatic Instrument To Get The Peace Process Moving Again.” It is a striking turn of the cda, the traditional pro-Israel party is the first center party to make this call.
For the cda, there are a few conditions attached to this. For Example, that should not be done on its own by the Netherlands, but in consultation with like-minded counters within the eu. Also, Among Other Things, Hamas Must Be Excluded and Free Elections Must Be Held.
GL-PVDA Criticizes That Cabinet Says No to Medical Treatments A Topic that is also discussed in the debate is the evacuation of seriously ill children from Gaza to the Netherlands for Medical Treatment. A Number of Other European Countries Are Already Doing This, But The Netherlands is Still Saying No. Kati Piri (GL-PvdA) Wonders Aloud.
Grinwis (CU) Critical or Netanyahu Government ChristenUnie MP Pieter Grinwis States That His Party is connected to Israel, Partly because of religion. “But you can tell friends the truth,” he says. He is Therefore Critical of the Attitude of the Netanyahu Government, which Violates Human Rights.
He does ask ask minister Veldkamp what the facts are surrounding the distribution of food, which is ready at the borders of Gaza. He recoveres criticism from Teunissen (PvdD) on that remark, who is that it is Israel That is Blocking Aid to Gaza.
Furthermore, The ChristenUnie Pleads for Sufficient Food in Gaza, The Defeat of Hamas and the Release of Hostages. In Addition, Grinwis Asks The Cabinet to Do More Against Division in the Netherlands, Mainly the Growing Anti-Semitism Accordination to Him.
Question from Vermeer (BBB) About Food Aid Causes Annoyance MPS from D66, SP, PvdD and Volt Express Annoyance Towards BBB Member Henk Vermeer. In His Argument, The MP Wonders Why Not Enough Food Aid is Entering Gaza. He does not deny that there is a famine, but wonders Whether the Large Shortage of Food is only caused by the actions of Israel. There could also be a problem with the distribution, accordance to Vermeer himself.
The MPS Point Vermeer to All the Reports and Debates That Have Already Been published and hero About this. Among Others, The Un, Amnesty and International Aid Organizations State That Israel itself is Blocking Aid.
SGP Afraid That Alliance with Israel is Being Put at Stake SGP MP Diederik van Dijk States That Three Things Are Crucial for his Party. They want the release of the hostages, that Hamas is Eliminated and That “Royal” Humanitarian Aid Enters Gaza. The Therefore Supports The Plan for AirDrops, which are QUITE controversial.
The Wonders Whether the Measures That The Cabinet is Taking Against Israel Do Not Ensure That “Hamas Leans Back And Does Not Want To Take A Step Towards Peace”. Van Dijk Believes that the Sanctions Against Israel also Put An Alliance of Decades at Stake.
Dassen: ‘Don’t come up with that we are leading’ Volt Leader Laurens Dassen also Expresses Considerable Criticism of the Outgoing Cabinet. “Don’t come up with that the Netherlands is Already Doing Enough, that we are leading, that we have no influence,” He says in the direction of Minister Caspar Veldkamp (Foreign Affairs).
Volt, Like the Other Left-Wing Parties That Have Already Spoken, Demands More Action.
Dobbe Wants the Netherlands to also help with medical evacuations sarah dobbe of the sp wonders when the red line line has been reached for the dutch cabinet. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has the plan to occupy the entire gaza strip. “How much time does the minister think he still has to prevent genocide?” She Wonders. “The Netherlands Has the Obligation to do Everything it can, but the Netherlands does not do everything it can.”
Dobbe, Like Previous Parties, Wants More Measures Against Israel. She was the Netherlands to no Longer Buy Israeli Weapons, Impose a Trade Ban on Israeli Settlements and Occupied Territories, Sanctions Against More Israeli Officials and Recognize The Palestinian State.
In Addition, The MP Calls on the Cabinet to Help with Medical Evacations in Gaza, for Thousands of People who Urgently Need Medical Help.
Teunissen Finds Reaction of VVD ‘Gross Disgrace’ VVD Member Eric van der Burg Criticizes Teunissen because the PvdD MP Calls the Food Drops A “Sham Solution”. “I would still still argue for them to take place, because every kilo is one,” Said van der Burg.
His Reaction Leads to Anger at Teunissen. “Stop Taking the Party for the Animals to Task. You have blocked every effective Measure here. We have been working for two years. And then the vvd is now go to take me to task for warning a dangerous, largely dangerous measure.
Teunissen (PvdD) Calls Measures ‘Sham Movements’ PvdD MP Christine Teunissen also Believes That the Cabinet is “On The Wrong Side of History”. She Calls The Measures Tasks “Sham Movements” And, Like the Speakers Before Her, Wants, Among Other Things, A Total Arms Embargo and the Recognition of Palestine.
Like Paternotte, Teunissen also addresses VVD, NSC and ChristenUnie. Accordance to her, these parties are blocking extra measures.
Van Baarle Calls Minister Not Worth a Dime Think Leader Stephan Van Baarle also Wants The Dutch Government to Do More. The Netherlands can do a lot, but it Doesn’tn’tn’t, he says. Like Paternotte, Van Baarle Calls for, Among Other Things, Economic Sanctions Against Israel, A Complete Arms Embargo Against Israel and the Recognition of the Palestinian State.
Furthermore, he thinks that the cabinet is Looking Away from a genocide in Gaza. “People are dying, children are dying. Then do something.” To outgoing Foreign Minister Casper Veldkamp He says: “You are not to worth a dime. Saying that you are a leader, while much more needs to be done.”
Paternotte Against VVD, NSC, SGP and CU: “Wake Up” “We Theaten to Become spectators to An Ethnic Cleansing, A Genocide. Or we Already Are,” Begins Paternotte. D66 Wants The Outgoing Cabinet to Do Much More. Paternotte Thinks that the Netherlands “Still Does Almost Nothing Concrete”.
The Wants To Sanction the Entire Israeli Government, Completely Stop the Supply of Weapons, Restrict Trade With Illegal Settlements Through A Law, Suspend the Entire Eu Treaty with Israel and Recognize The Palestinian State.
Paternotte Addresses VVD, NSC, SGP and ChristenUnie. “Wake up,” he says in the direction of these parties.
Cards have already bone Dalt it will not be a very exciting debate, because all parties have already determined their position. For Example, Pro-Israel Parties Such as PVV and SGP Think That the Outgoing Cabinet is Treating Israel Too Hostile. Government Party BBB also Fits in This Camp.
Left-Wing and Progressive Opposition Parties (GL-PvdA, D66, SP, PvdD, Think and Volt) because More Sanctions, But they do not have a majority in the house. Moreover, They Cannot Submit Proposals Today to Adjust the Policy.
Government Parties VVD and NSC Support the Current Course of the Cabinet. They also emhasize that the cabinet is among the leaders in the EU. So the Chance is Small That New Measures Will Be Announced Today.
Netherlands also Drop Food via Air Last Week, The Outgoing Cabinet Announced that the Netherlands, Like Other Countries, Will Drop Food via the Air. Meanwhile, The Cabinet is Gradually Increasing the Pressure on Israel. Especiate Since the PVV is no Longer Part of the Government.
Minister Veldkamp Announced More than a week ago that two extremist ministers are no longer welcom in the Netherlands. Also, arms exports have bone further restricted. In this article you can read more about the Measures. For More Sanctions, People Are Mainly Looking To Brussels, But this is not Possible Due to the Division Among The EU Member States.
