Dutch Foreign Minister Casper Veldkamp resigned after coalition partners opposed his calls for increased sanctions against Israel. This situation has sparked significant debate in international relations.

Veldkamp stated in parliament that due to the increasing humanitarian crisis and civilian casualties in Gaza, stronger measures needed to be taken. However, other government members did not support these proposals.

The opposition to Veldkamp's requests revealed divisions within the temporary government. He remarked, "If my scope for action is this limited, I will go home and write my resignation letter."

Following his resignation, other ministers in the government are expected to resign as well. This could signal the beginning of a new era in the Netherlands' foreign policy.
