The Netherlands has officially listed "Israel" as a foreign state threat for the first time, citing disinformation campaigns and attempts to pressure the International Criminal Court.
For the first time, the Netherlands has included "Israel" on its list of foreign states that pose a threat to national security, according to a new report from the Dutch National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV).
The assessment, titled Assessment of Threats from State Actors, highlights efforts by "Israel" to manipulate Dutch public opinion and influence political decision-making through disinformation tactics.
Among the incidents cited is a case from last year, when an Israeli ministry reportedly circulated a document to Dutch journalists and politicians via unofficial channels. The document contained unusual and sensitive personal information about Dutch citizens. This followed tensions linked to a rally in Amsterdam supporting the football team Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The NCTV pointed to the circulation of such material as part of a broader concern over disinformation campaigns aiming to undermine Dutch democratic institutions.
The report also expressed alarm over growing threats from both "Israel" and the US directed at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. These pressures, the agency noted, may interfere with the court’s ability to carry out its judicial responsibilities. (more...)
