On July 29, after Turkish President Erdogan said that the Turkish army could enter Israel, Dutch far-right populist Geert Wilders, known as the "Dutch Trump", called for Turkey to be "kicked out of NATO."

According to Reuters and Bloomberg on July 29, Erdogan mentioned the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a speech praising his country's defense industry on the 28th. Erdogan said that if Turkey's military industry was strong, Palestine would not be invaded by Israel. Just as Turkish forces entered Karabakh and Libya, Turkey can do the same to Israel.

In response to Erdogan's remarks, Wilders fiercely criticized on social media, "Islamic fascist Erdogan threatened to invade Israel. This guy is completely crazy. Turkey should be kicked out of NATO."

It is reported that in the 2023 general election in the Netherlands, the Freedom Party (PVV) led by Wilders won 37 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives, becoming the largest party in the House of Representatives. Although it did not win a majority of seats, it was considered by the outside world to have won the general election "shockingly". Subsequently, the Freedom Party began negotiations with the center-right People's Party for Liberal Democracy (VVD), to which Rutte belongs, which won relatively more votes in the election, as well as the centrist New Social Contract (NSC) and the Farmers' Party (BBB) ​​on the formation of a coalition government.

However, the Freedom Party (PVV), which is classified as a right-wing populist party by the mainstream Western media, and its leader Wilders's propositions are difficult to be recognized by the mainstream political parties in the Netherlands, and the coalition negotiations have encountered many twists and turns. In order to facilitate the formation of a coalition, Wilders gave up the position of prime minister.
