Dutch foreign minister resigns over Gaza

Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp has resigned after the caretaker government failed to agree on imposing new sanctions against Israel. His resignation prompted his centre-right New Social Contract party to withdraw from the governing coalition, deepening the country's political crisis. Veldkamp had pushed for stronger measures in response to Israel's war on Gaza and its recent approval of thousands of new settlement units in the occupied West Bank. The move occurs amidst significant public pressure and protests in the Netherlands demanding action against Israel.
