Dutch foreign minister resigns over government's failure to sanction Israel

Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp on Friday resigned after his government failed to agree on sanctions against Israel.

“I see that I am insufficiently able to take meaningful additional measures to increase pressure on Israel,” Veldkamp told Dutch news agency ANP. 

The Dutch government did not agree on sanctions during a cabinet meeting on Friday.
