Dutch Foreign Minister resigns over failed push for Israel sanctions
The Sunday Guardian
|August 24, 2025
Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp has resigned after failing to secure government support for stronger sanctions against Israel over its military operations in Gaza, Al Jazeera reported.
Veldkamp, who represents the New Social Contract party and previously served as the Netherlands' ambassador to Israel, said on Friday (local time) he could not win backing for what he called "meaningful measures." He also claimed that some ministers were blocking even the implementation of current sanctions, according to Al Jazeera.
"I also see what is happening on the ground in Gaza, the attack on Gaza City, and what is happening in the West Bank, the building decision for the disputed settlement E1, and East Jerusalem," Veldkamp told reporters, as per Al Jazeera. He also cancelled three export permits for parts used in Israeli navy ships, warning of a "risk of undesirable end use" amid "deteriorating conditions" in Gaza.

EXTERMINATE MOSQUITOES TO ERADICATE EIGHT DEADLY DISEASES
Till now, Iceland, with a harsh, unique climate and geographical isolation, was the only country in the world that was completely free of mosquitoes. Three mosquitoes were found in the Kjos valley in October 2025. Scientists blamed rising temperatures due to climate change and increased travel for these arrivals. Mosquitoes are vectors for deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus fever, and filariasis. In 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597,000 deaths globally. World Malaria Day on 25 April and National Dengue Day on May 16th in India highlight the need for public education, continued investment, and sustained political commitment for prevention and control measures, especially before the monsoon season. ‘Chikungunya' means \"to become contorted,\" (due to severe joint pains) in the Kimakonde language in Tanzania and Mozambique.

WELFARE DELIVERY, MODI FACTOR PROPELLING NDA IN BIHAR POLLS
The Bihar elections opened with opposition parties confident that Nitish Kumar's long incumbency and public fatigue courtesy his 20 years of rule would translate into a difficult contest for the NDA. In the early phase of campaigning, this seemed plausible. The same feeling was also shared by top National Democratic Alliance leaders while interacting with journalists privately, including by two senior BJP Union Ministers, who spoke to this correspondent before and after the poll schedule was announced.
