Dutch politician Geert Wilders posted his support for the hostages held by Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip, saying that "victims don't hold hostages."
"Victims don't hold hostages. Savages do."
"Heroes support the hostages, Traitors support Hamas and call for sanctions. What side are you on?" Wilders posted.
In July, Wilders criticized and mocked France's decision to recognize a Palestinian state in a post to X/Twitter.
In the post, Wilders highlights the southeastern coastline of the country's Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in red, and writes: "Here will be the new Palestinian state. Big parts of France are already Islamic anyway."
"Good luck [French President] Emmanuel Macron and France! Happy suicide!" he addressed the French leader. "The Netherlands will close its borders immediately."
Wilders previously left Dutch government coalition
The Dutch politician, who has been outspokenly supportive of Israel, left the Netherlands' governing coalition in June.
His right-wing party, PVV, left after Wilders said his coalition partners were not willing to support his ideas on halting asylum migration.
"No signature under our asylum plans. The PVV leaves the coalition," Wilders said in a post on X.
Wilders said he had informed Prime Minister Dick Schoof that all ministers from his PVV party would quit the government.
