JAKARTA - The Netherlands has banned two right-wing Israeli ministers from entering the country. The policy is Europe's latest response to the rapidly deteriorating situation in Gaza.
Dutch Foreign Minister (Menlu) Caspar Veldkamp said other measures against Israeli officials supporting destruction and death in Gaza were contained in an official letter sent to the state parliament in Western Europe.
"The war in Gaza must stop," Veldkamp said, Tuesday, July 29, quoted from AP.
The Dutch ban targeted Israel's hardline National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
Both are key partners in the coalition of Prime Minister (PM) Benjamin Netanyahu.
Both of Israel's far-right figures are supporters of the illegal Israeli settlement movement that annexs the Palestinian territories, especially the West Bank.

Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich also strongly support the continuation of the war in Gaza by facilitating what they call the voluntary emigration of Palestinians and the construction of Jewish settlements there.
Not only the Netherlands, but sanctions were also imposed by Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Norway against the two Israeli figures in the form of financial sanctions in June 2025.
