The Hague (Quds News Network)- The Netherlands has included Israel for the first time on its list of foreign states that pose a security threat to the country, according to a recent report released by the country's chief counterterrorism agency, the Dutch National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV). The document, titled Assessment of Threats from State Actors, pointed to efforts by Israel to manipulate Dutch public opinion and influence political decision-making through disinformation campaigns. One incident cited in the report involves a document circulated last year by an Israeli ministry to Dutch journalists and politicians through unofficial channels. The report added the document contained unusual and unwanted personal details about Dutch citizens, following tensions during a rally in Amsterdam of supporters of football team Maccabi Tel Aviv. The NCTV also flagged concerns over mounting threats from both Israel and the US toward the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. These threats, it noted, could potentially disrupt the court’s work. As a host country to several international legal institutions, the Netherlands was described as having a "special responsibility" to safeguard their operations in the face of such external pressures. Since the start of the Israeli assault on Gaza, there has been a significant shift in relations between Amsterdam and Israel. The Dutch government has become increasingly vocal in its criticism of Israeli actions in Gaza and has called for an immediate ceasefire. The Netherlands has been among the EU nations, alongside Ireland and Spain, which have publicly urged the Brussels to reassess its ties with Israel, stating that Israel has violated human rights conditions under the EU-Israel Association Agreement. Furthermore, in a significant development, the Hague Court of Appeal in February 2024 ordered the Dutch government to stop exporting parts for F-35 fighter jets to Israel, citing a clear risk that these weapons could be used to violate international humanitarian law.
