CDA MP Boswijk wants to recognize the Palestinian state under certain conditions. This makes the CDA a different course, because a two -state solution was previously aimed. Boswijk does connect conditions to this. “There are major challenges on the Palestinian side. There is a lot of work to do there. There must be an effective administration.” That criticized him from NSC, BBB and SGP because those conditions are not met. That is why it would be ‘a sham solution’ is the criticism. Nevertheless, Boswijk thinks it is a good idea. “Sometimes you have to take a step without knowing exactly the details.”
Parties clash hard about measures
The House of Representatives came back from Summer Reviews on Thursday to debate the humanitarian situation in Gaza. From left to right, the call sounds to allow more help in Gaza. But parties clash hard about the way in which it should be achieved. GL/PvdA, D66, CDA, Volt, SP, the animal party and DENK find the measures announced by the outgoing cabinet far too weak.

“Wake up,” D66 MP Paternotte snifters. “The Israeli government commits war mass days and you let it happen. We hardly do anything.” That criticism sounds with more parties. “The Netherlands does not do everything that is possible,” says SP MP Dobbe. “And the minister knows this.” According to MP Teunissen of the animal party, the Netherlands is complicit in genocide. “The measures are false movements.”
Part of the Chamber believes that the role of Hamas is underexposed and that the debt is being placed far too much with Israel. “If Hamas returns the weapons, it is peace. If Israel handed in the weapons, Israel no longer exists the day after tomorrow,” emphasizes BBB MP Vermeer. “Israel remains an ally.”
‘Only effective measures’
According to the VVD, it is especially important to take effective measures. “The Netanyahu cabinet fails with emergency aid,” says VVD MP Van der Burg. “We consciously distinguish between Israel and the Netanyahu government. We strive for effective measures, not for measures that feel good towards our supporters.” The VVD member argues for extra measures at European level, but that is not enough for some parties.
PVV MP De Roon says that Hamas Gaza has deposited into misery. “With regard to the PVV, the only solution is the total destruction of Hamas. The PVV is behind Israel.” The party does not want any sanctions towards Israel. “Just pay for Hamas. Hamas just has to leave Gaza.”

The outgoing cabinet announced new measures against Israel last week after emergency consultation. For example, two Israeli ministers have been given an entry ban. After that, the government also announced that it would also cooperate in food drops.
