Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs Wopke Hoekstra on Tuesday reiterated his government’s position on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict stressing the illegality of Israeli settlements in the occupied territories.

 Malki warned that the new Israeli government will be more hateful of the Palestinian people, especially as it is going to include extremist terrorists, change the status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque, gives the green light to the deliberate killing of Palestinians, and form settler militias with the support and blessing of the new Israeli government.
He said that more than 10 Palestinians were killed in cold blood by the Israeli occupation forces within 75 hours, and this happens daily in Palestine in full view of the world without accountability, stressing that the international community must hold Israel accountable for its crimes and to end the policy of impunity from punishment.
For his part, the Dutch Foreign Minister affirmed that his government's position is clear on the illegality of the settlements, its commitment to the two-state solution, the importance of returning to negotiations to achieve peace, and an emphasis on issues of human rights and international law.
