‘Justice prevailed’: Is the Netherlands shifting its stance on Israel?

A Dutch court acquitted humanitarian worker Amin Abu Rashid of funding Hamas, a verdict pro-Palestinian activists hope will set a precedent for targeting activism against Israel's actions. While analysts suggest this legal outcome and shifting public opinion indicate growing sympathy for the Palestinian cause, the Netherlands government's strong support for Israel is unlikely to change significantly.
