Caspar Veldkamp, the foreign minister of the Netherlands, resigns after failing to impose sanctions on Israel for the atrocities committed in Gaza.
Germany partially retaliated by stopping the sale of weapons to Israel that could be used in Gaza until “further notice.”
Italy suspended all new military exports to Israel in October, while the Netherlands also imposed a partial ban on parts for Israeli fighter jets.
Questions are raised, however, by Caspar Veldkamp’s recent resignation as Dutch Foreign Minister after his government refused to ratify sanctions against Israel.
Will this one decision cause the 27-nation bloc to experience broader political unrest?
