Veldkamp also rejected calls to halt arms imports from Israel, saying the Netherlands prioritised domestic and EU procurement before sourcing from third countries.

Outside the parliament building in The Hague, around 250 pro-Palestinian protesters demanded stronger Dutch action. Local media reported chants and banners calling for an immediate ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid.
So it is not “just” but the Netherlands continue to support it, instead of opposing it. Well, Amsterdam - The Hague only is an hour by train.
