The Dutch government banned two Israeli ministers from entering the Netherlands in reaction to the deteriorating situation in Gaza and their controversial policies.

The Netherlands has banned far-right Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich from the Netherlands because of their support for settlement expansion in the Palestinian territories and the continuing conflict in Gaza. The Dutch foreign minister called on the EU to partially suspend the trade agreement with Israel. Ben-Gvir denounced the move as a form of anti-Semitism as the Dutch government faces mounting pressure to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
