A former prime minister of the Netherlands, Dries van Agt, said in an interview for a recently aired documentary that Israeli settlers poisoned their Palestinian Arab neighbors in 2015, drawing criticism from Dutch Jews who say he is perpetuating a centuries-old antisemitic blood libel.
B’Tselem, a far-left Israeli organization devoted to documenting alleged human rights violations, said it is not aware of the incident described by van Agt.
