Israeli settlers and military forces have increasingly sabotaged Dutch-funded projects in the West Bank since the escalation of conflict on October 7, 2023. Research by Investico reveals that 59 Dutch aid projects have been targeted since 2017, highlighting instances such as the destruction of a water tank and the theft of solar panels. The Dutch Foreign Ministry acknowledges the significant damage but struggles to hold Israeli authorities accountable, with many incidents going unaddressed. Critics argue that the Netherlands has various pressure options but hesitates to exert them effectively.
