Dutch opposition leader Geert Wilders said on Sunday that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza should be viewed as a common cause for Europe, declaring after a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that “Netanyahu’s fight is our fight.” Wilders told reporters that the two men spoke earlier in the day and agreed on the need to confront what he described as forces “loving death and destruction.” Wilders, who heads the far-right Freedom Party, added that he believes “millions of people in Europe” back Israel’s actions, framing the conflict as a broader defense of Western values of life and freedom. According to Wilders, Netanyahu said several European leaders privately endorse Israel’s operations but hesitate to voice support publicly because of political sensitivities over growing Muslim populations in their countries.
