The Netherlands joins DE, FRA, ITA and the UK in expressing deep concern over the Israeli death penalty bill ahead of its parliamentary vote. NL is principally against the death penalty and urges Israel’s government and Parliament to reconsider this bill. auswaertiges-amt.de/en/newsroom/ne…

The EU encourages Israel to abide by its previous principled position, with its obligations under international law, as well as its commitment to democratic principles, as reflected also in the provisions of the EU-Israel Association Agreement./.

#Israel: Statement by the Spokesperson on the Death Penalty Bill The Death Penalty Bill approved by the security committee of the Israeli Parliament is deeply concerning. The European Union opposes capital punishment in all cases and under all circumstances.

3/3 We call upon Israeli authorities to prevent and prosecute the lethal violence, raids and attacks. Israel has an obligation as the occupying power to protect Palestinian communities.

2/3 We are especially appalled by the killings of Palestinians over these past weeks. This violence by settler militias, aimed at taking over land and creating a coercive environment, forcing Palestinians to leave their homes, must end.

1/3 Joint local statement of diplomatic missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah🇧🇪🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺🇮🇪🇫🇮🇫🇷🇱🇹🇳🇱🇳🇴🇵🇹🇪🇸🇬🇧🇸🇪🇨🇭on increasing violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. We strongly condemn increasing settler terror and violence by the 🇮🇱security forces inflicted upon 🇵🇸communities.

Een repatriëringsvlucht met 56 gestrande Nederlandse reizigers uit Israël en de Westelijke Jordaanoever vanuit Sharm-el-Sheikh is zojuist geland op Schiphol, i.s.m. @TUINederland. Later vandaag worden nog 2 repatriëringsvluchten verwacht. Meer lezen➡️rijksoverheid.nl/ministeries/mi…

Horrified and shocked by the attacks in Amsterdam on #Makkabi football fans last night, reminiscent of Europe's dark days just as we prepare to remember #Pogrom Night of 1938. Trusting the Dutch authorities will investigate, prosecute and reestablish security for Jews people.

If Min. Ben Gvir really demanded to cancel the olive harvest in the Westbank this should be rejected. On the contrary: Israel must provide the conditions for Palestinian farmers to secure their livelihood and prevent extremist settlers from harassing them and cutting down trees.

A big thank you to Amir Tibon who came to discuss his book „The Gates of Gaza“ and mesmerised the audience. It’s the story of his family’s survival on 7/10 and of kibbutz Nahal Oz. May they see the return of all the hostages and one day peace with their Palestinian neighbours.

Shocked by the brutal terror attack with at least 6 killed this evening in Tel Aviv - Jaffa . Deepest condolences to the bereaved families and sincere wishes for a speedy recovery to those injured. Terror is never justified! We unequivocally condemn such cowardly terror attacks!

Terrible night: almost the entire State of Israel from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, from Metula to Beer Sheba and all its citizens - Jews, Arabs, Druze, Christians, were undiscriminately targeted by Iran in an attack that is condemned in strongest possible terms.

I strongly condemn the decision by the Israeli Government to revoke the diplomatic status for Norwegian diplomats dealing with the PA. This is of interest for all working for peace and stability in the Middle East. Full solidarity to Norway. eeas.europa.eu/eeas/israelpal…

Deliberate starvation of civilians is a war crime: Minister Smotrich advocating for it is beyond ignominious. We expect the IL government to distance itself from his words. And provide full account of the reported acts of torture in the Sde Teiman prison eeas.europa.eu/eeas/israelgaz…

Appalled by the stabbing attack in Holon, resulting in the death of two persons and leaving two others injured. Our sincere condolences go out to the family of those who didn’t survive the attack, and our wishes for a full and speedy recovery to those who were injured.

300 days of pain, horror and longing. 300 days too many for the 115 kidnapped daughters and sons, mothers and fathers, grandparents, held captive in Gaza by Hamas and other terrorist groups. They need to be released NOW. #BringThemHomeNow

Horrified by the direct hit of a rocket on a football pitch in the village of Majdel Shams, which has resulted in dozens of casualties and at least 10 killed, including children. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.

Ik heb gewezen op het belang van de EU-Israël Associatieraad die op korte termijn moet plaatsvinden. We spraken ook over de doorlopende dreiging vanuit Hamas en Iran, enkele prangende consulaire zaken en de noodzaak dat gegijzelden zo snel mogelijk worden vrijgelaten. 2/2

Zojuist heb ik @Israel_katz telefonisch aangesproken op de noodzaak dat Israël de @CIJ_ICJ-uitspraak respecteert en uitvoert. 1/2
