أعلن عدد من وزراء حكومة تصريف الأعمال الهولندية المنتمين إلى حزب اليمين الوسط، استقالتهم، بعد خلاف حول سياسة الحكومة تجاه إسرائيل، بسبب حربها المدمرة على قطاع غزة.
وأتت موجة الاستقالات لوزراء حزب «العقد الاجتماعي الجديد» (NSC)، إثر استقالة وزير الخارجية كاسبار فيلدكامب، العضو في الحزب، مساء الجمعة.
وقال فيلدكامب السفير السابق لهولندا في تل أبيب، إنه عجز عن التوصل إلى اتفاق بشأن إجراءات ملموسة رداً على أفعال إسرائيل في غزة، مضيفاً أنه واجه مراراً اعتراضات من زملائه في الحكومة على الإجراءات التي كانت هولندا قد فرضتها بالفعل، وفق ما كشفت «بلومبيرغ».
فيما أعلنت صحيفة «دوتش نيوز» الهولندية، أنه بعد استقالة فيلدكامب، تبعه وزير الشؤون الاجتماعية إيدي فان هيوم، ووزيرة الداخلية جوديث أوترمارك، ووزيرة التعليم إيبو بروينز، ووزيرة الصحة دانييل يانسن، و4 وزراء دولة.
وقال وزير الشؤون الاجتماعية إيدي فان هيوم، الذي يشغل منصب نائب رئيس الوزراء، إن الخلاف حول إسرائيل كان السبب وراء انسحابهم من هذا الائتلاف الهش، الذي يدير البلاد منذ انهيار الحكومة في يونيو الماضي.
وأضاف أن فيلدكامب كان يشعر بشدة بالحاجة إلى مزيد من الإجراءات ضد الحكومة الإسرائيلية، لكن المكابح كانت تُستخدم باستمرار.
أما زعيمة حزب «العقد الاجتماعي الجديد»، نيكولين فان فرونهوفن فقالت إن الحزب وجه رسالة بضرورة حدوث تحسن في الوضع، وهذا لم يحدث، لذلك نتخذ خطوات الآن، بحسب ما نشرت مجلة بوليتيكو.
من جانبه، أعرب رئيس الوزراء ديك شوف عن أسفه لانسحاب حزب «العقد الاجتماعي الجديد» من الحكومة. وقال خلال كلمة ألقاها أمام البرلمان: علينا احترام هذه القرارات، لكننا نأسف عليها بشدة، خصوصاً في ضوء المسؤولية التي تقع على عاتق الحكومة في هذه المرحلة الانتقالية. وأضاف أنه سيطلب المشورة قبل اتخاذ قرار بشأن كيفية التعامل مع حكومة لا تملك أحزابها سوى 31 مقعداً من أصل 150 مقعداً في البرلمان.
وانهارت الحكومة الهولندية في يونيو الماضي بعد انسحاب زعيم اليمين المتطرف خيرت فيلدرز وحزبه الحرية من الائتلاف، بعد رفض شركائه الثلاثة دعم خططه للحد من الهجرة، واستمرت الحكومة نحو عام واحد فقط.
ومن بين الإجراءات التي فرضتها هولندا ضد تل أبيب، حظر دخول الوزيرين في الحكومة الإسرائيلية بتسلئيل سموتريتش وإيتمار بن غفير، واتهمتهما بالتحريض المتكرر على عنف المستوطنين ضد الفلسطينيين، وفقاً لـ«بلومبيرغ».
وألغى وزير الخارجية المستقيل 3 تصاريح تصدير لمكونات سفن بحرية موجهة لإسرائيل، بسبب تدهور الأوضاع في غزة، وخطر الاستخدام غير المرغوب فيه.

A number of ministers from the Dutch caretaker government belonging to the center-right party announced their resignation following a dispute over the government's policy towards Israel due to its devastating war on the Gaza Strip.
The wave of resignations from the "New Social Contract" (NSC) party came after the resignation of Foreign Minister Kaspar Veldkamp, a party member, on Friday evening.
Veldkamp, the former ambassador of the Netherlands in Tel Aviv, stated that he was unable to reach an agreement on concrete measures in response to Israel's actions in Gaza, adding that he repeatedly faced objections from his government colleagues regarding the measures that the Netherlands had already imposed, according to Bloomberg.
Meanwhile, the Dutch newspaper "Dutch News" reported that after Veldkamp's resignation, he was followed by Social Affairs Minister Eddy van Heum, Interior Minister Judith Outermark, Education Minister Ibo Bruins, Health Minister Daniel Jansen, and four state ministers.
Social Affairs Minister Eddy van Heum, who also serves as Deputy Prime Minister, stated that the disagreement over Israel was the reason for their withdrawal from this fragile coalition, which has been governing the country since the government collapsed last June.
He added that Veldkamp felt a strong need for more actions against the Israeli government, but brakes were constantly being applied.
On her part, the leader of the "New Social Contract" party, Nicolien van Vroonhoven, said that the party sent a message that an improvement in the situation was necessary, and this did not happen, so we are taking steps now, according to what was published by Politico.
For his part, Prime Minister Dick Schuf expressed his regret over the withdrawal of the "New Social Contract" party from the government. He said during a speech before parliament: We must respect these decisions, but we deeply regret them, especially in light of the responsibility that falls on the government during this transitional phase. He added that he would seek advice before making a decision on how to deal with a government whose parties hold only 31 seats out of 150 in parliament.
The Dutch government collapsed last June after the far-right leader Geert Wilders and his Freedom Party withdrew from the coalition, after their three partners refused to support his plans to curb immigration, and the government lasted for only about a year.
Among the measures that the Netherlands imposed against Tel Aviv was the ban on the entry of two ministers in the Israeli government, Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, accusing them of repeatedly inciting settler violence against Palestinians, according to Bloomberg.
The resigned foreign minister canceled three export permits for maritime components directed to Israel due to the deteriorating situation in Gaza and the risk of undesirable use.
