Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp has resigned due to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Coalition partners opposed sanctions, leading to this decision.

Veldkamp had argued for stronger actions due to civilian casualties and the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. However, these proposals did not find support among other government factions.

The coalition's center-right and liberal partners argued that sanctions would harm the Netherlands' international trade interests. As internal disagreements grew, Veldkamp decided to resign to avoid contradicting his principles.

This decision from the Netherlands has resonated internationally, bringing more attention to the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
