Israeli-born Dutch politician advocates for lethal violence against Palestinian refugees in Netherlands —— Tel Aviv-born Dutch lawmaker Gidi Markuszower has sparked widespread condemnation after calling for the use of lethal force against Palestinian refugees seeking asylum in the Netherlands, according to local media outlet Left Laser. In a recent interview, the founder of the Dutch Alliance party stated that those attempting to enter the country should be met with "maximum force," explicitly suggesting that the Dutch military should use firearms to repel them. Markuszower, a former spokesperson for the Likud party's Dutch branch, argued that the violence used at the border should exceed the attacks using by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza, where he suggested they should be left to "wither away." The Rights Forum has announced it will file a formal complaint for incitement to violence against the politician, whose career has been repeatedly marked by security concerns. Markuszower was previously blocked from a cabinet position as deputy prime minister after Dutch intelligence services flagged undisclosed background issues. His political history includes a 2010 withdrawal from parliamentary elections following reports linking him to the Mossad, as well as a prior arrest for illegal weapon possession. Despite these warnings, he has maintained a significant platform within the Dutch far right, often utilizing racist rhetoric to describe migration from the Global South. Legislators across the Dutch political spectrum have denounced the comments as a dangerous escalation of radical right discourse. While the Netherlands saw approximately 6,000 asylum applications in early 2026, Markuszower has sought to frame the arrival of Palestinians as a security threat, claiming ironically and without evidence that the vast majority of the population is inherently violent.
