The Dutch cabinet has refused to officially recognize the Palestinian state, a spokesperson said on behalf of outgoing Foreign Minister Hanke Bruins Slot, the NL Times reported on May 22.
Asked to respond to Wednesday’s decisions by Spain, Ireland and Norway to recognize a Palestinian state, the minister responded that recognition of a Palestinian state would lead to nothing at the moment and that all of this required careful consideration.
The lower house of the Dutch parliament did not support such a measure. PVV MP Raymond de Roon criticized the Palestinians during a parliamentary debate last week. “fake people”. The largest party in parliament, which is about to join the new ruling coalition, fully supports Israel. The remaining coalition parties (VVD, NSC and BBB) also do not support continuing the path of the other three European countries.
The VVD’s Ruben Brekelmans said the actions of the national governments in Madrid, Dublin and Oslo were reckless.
“The recognition of a Palestinian state must be part of a lasting peace and a two-state solution that is accepted by both sides. Unilateral actions only further delay the solution. “Israel sees them as rewards for terrorism.”Brekelmans said.
However, left-wing parties in the Netherlands have long called for recognition of a Palestinian state. Kati Piri of GroenLinks-PvdA called the actions of Spain, Ireland and Norway an important step.
