The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Dutch parliament meets to scrutinise the government’s handling of the situation in Gaza, with Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp leading the discussion.

The government summons Israel’s ambassador to express its condemnation, imposes travel bans on two Israeli cabinet ministers, and vows to push for EU-wide trade sanctions against Israel. Outside parliament, an estimated 15,000 protesters gather, highlighting the issue’s domestic sensitivity.
