The Netherlands has been criticised by Israel for funding the Breaking the Silence organisation, which recently published testimony by Israeli soldiers alleging war crimes in Gaza.
According to the leading Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the Israeli embassy in The Hague has submitted a formal complaint to the Dutch government about the financing of Breaking the Silence, which recently published a controversial report which alleged that Israeli military personnel had committed war crimes during the recent conflict in the Gaza Strip.
Following the release of that report, the names of the organisation's financial backers, including the British and Dutch embassies in Israel, were made public in various Israeli media.
