Dutch Foreign Minister Tries to Stop Boycott Funding
(Jerusalem Post) Benny Weinthal - According to a report by The Hague-based Center for Information and Documentation on Israel (CIDI), the Dutch Foreign Ministry has allocated at least 10 million euros over a five-year period to organizations urging a boycott of Israel. Uri Rosenthal, the Dutch foreign minister, wrote to CIDI last month saying, "Intervention will occur in cases of organizations acting against Dutch policy." The Foreign Ministry under Rosenthal has begun to institute sweeping reforms to stop Dutch charities from funding anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions activities and NGOs that deny Israel's right to exist.
