Forced displacement of the population under occupation is considered a war crime, and it is a priority for the Israeli government’s agenda under Netanyahu’s leadership after the formation of his current government, a government that has committed itself to extremism in its positions when it decided to annex the Palestinian territories by expanding settlements illegally and legitimizing the outposts according to the law. The Israeli, if at the expense of what is legal.
Former UN envoy Nicholas Van Dam of Dutch origin Nickolaos van Dam strongly criticized the Dutch government's silence on what the Israeli government is doing towards the residents of the occupied territory in Palestine, considering the congratulations of Foreign Minister Hoekstra on the occasion of the appointment of the government led by Netanyahu on December 20, without mentioning even a single word about the announced settlement expansion On the 28th of Caton I and the continuous annexation of the Palestinian lands.
The former Dutch international, Nikolaos van Dam, also considered the position of the Dutch government regarding the vote in the United Nations General Assembly on the UN resolution related to the legality of the Israeli occupation or not of the Palestinian territories, which is incomprehensible and unacceptable in the first place, calling for the need to respect international law in making legitimate decisions.
Such silence encouraged the Israeli government to continue implementing its settlement policy, and even in a clear provocation to the Palestinian people, when the extremist Minister of National Security attacked Al-Aqsa Mosque, a terrorist and convicted person, as the former UN envoy wrote in a blog on the subject, considering what the Dutch government is doing towards the Israelis On the one hand, the positions it shows against the Palestinian people will not serve peace and security in the Middle East, because the Dutch government, as it was written, wants to support the Dutch companies that are active there, especially the financial companies in the settlements, including the government pension fund ABP and the state bank ABN AMRO, meaning that the background The economic and political are what feed the positions of the Dutch government towards Israeli policy, even at the expense of international laws, and this is the path taken by the Dutch foreign ministers in Palestine.
The former UN envoy considered what the Netherlands is doing in Palestine working to push the Palestinians further away from the possibility of believing in the idea of a peaceful solution in the region, and this was confirmed through polls.
Nicholas Van Dam considered what the State Department has been doing over the years shameful and “makes us complicit and complicit by supporting activities in support of war crimes and other violations of international law.”
