What happened
Isaac Herzog called for Hamas to disarm and urged Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten to demand this action during an interview with De Telegraaf. Herzog also stated that combating Tehran's influence is necessary, referencing UN Security Council Resolution 2301 which calls for the disarming of Hamas. Separately, Israel's Foreign Ministry condemned a UK Green Party motion that equated Zionism with racism, noting the motion adopted Hamas's ideology of eliminating the State of Israel through armed struggle.
