Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp told the Guardian that the Dutch government is seen as one of Israel’s most loyal allies in the EU, calling for an emergency review of the EU-Israel Free Trade Agreement, the basis of the EU-Israel Free Trade Agreement.

Veldkamp's ban on Israel's supply of supplies to Gaza was "disastrous, truly frustrating" and clearly violated international humanitarian law.

He has written to the EU's foreign service director Kaja Kallas for an emergency review, saying he believes Israel has now violated the association's agreement.

Veldkamp, ​​former Dutch ambassador to Israel, said he hopes to discuss the issue at a two-day informal foreign minister meeting in Poland on Wednesday.

The EU is Israel's largest trading partner. The Dutch government has had leadership measures in the past to block discussions about the suspension of the association’s agreement, which is the most continued leverage advocated by Ireland and Spain.

Veldkamp explained: "You can't starve the people in the Gaza Strip to death. This is against international law. It's morally wrong. It's dangerous. I don't think it's in Israel's interest."

He said the opportunity for a ceasefire was "very, very slim" and made the situation "unbearable".

He added that the Dutch government would veto any extension of the EU-Israel action plan, namely, the implementation of the Association Agreement that came into effect in 2000.

Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement stipulates that their relationship is based on respect for human rights and democratic principles.

NGOs have repeatedly urged the EU to take a stronger stance, but did not take any action in the agreement at the meeting with Israel in February this year.

In his letter to Karas, Wildekamp said that the Israeli proposed distribution system of aid appears to be incompatible with the "principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence."

Speaking to his guardian in London after meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, he said the Netherlands was “very worried about the current behavior of the war, especially the blockade of humanitarian aid since the ceasefire on March 18.”

He also challenged Netanyahu's priorities, saying the ceasefire is the most effective way to get hostage releases.

"Israel's criticism is against Prime Minister () who doesn't have enough priorities for the release of hostages, and he now also says he has not given the final priority, but he will prioritize fighting Hamas."

"Now, Hamas must release the hostages as soon as possible. Hamas must put down his weapons. Hamas cannot be part of the future governance of the Gaza Strip," he said. "I know Egypt also has plans for Egypt, a promoter of the ceasefire talks, and it is one of the leaders of Hamas, who can leave the third country."

With the International Court of Justice sitting in The Hague, the Dutch government believes it has additional responsibility for the ICJ judgment.

“I don’t have any fantasy about Hamas’s going to always adopt international humanitarian law, but from the perspective of democracy like Israel, the fight for democracy is different, Israel must comply with international humanitarian law, as well as the latest statements from the Israeli ministers, such as Minister Smotrich, whose goal is his goal to be a complete destruction of Gaza, and we cannot ignore such examples.

“I say this is someone close to Israel, and as a former ambassador, it’s not Israel’s sustainable policy, and now is the time to work for peace.”

His remarks and potential impact on the EU came days before Donald Trump's first massive visit since he flew to the Middle East. So far, Trump has not criticized Netanyahu's strategy.
