The Rights Forum, a Dutch human rights organization, expressed its disapproval of the Dutch government’s endeavor to normalize with the Israeli occupation and their attempt to strengthen military ties between the Netherlands and the Israeli occupation.

The organization highlighted that normalization is a factor that can lead to the infringement of international regulations and human rights, and clashes with Dutch human rights policy and Dutch commitments under international agreements such as the Geneva Conventions, emphasizing that it places it on the wrong side of history.

The organization demanded an immediate termination of all forms of assistance to the Israeli occupation, including the military and defense industry.
