Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte says he urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “drastically” reduce the level of violence against Palestinians amid the war with Hamas in Gaza and to immediately pause fighting to let more aid into the war-battered enclave.
“Israel needs to let in much more relief goods much quicker,” Rutte says after a telephone call with Netanyahu.
“We have talked about concrete measures to do so.”
