Uriël "Uri" Rosenthal is a retired Dutch politician and "terrorism" academic. He attended the 2011 Bilderberg conference as Minister of Foreign Affairs. As Minister, he strongly furthered the Israeli government agenda.

Early life

Uriël Rosenthal was born on 19 July 1945 in Montreux, Switzerland to Jewish parents who during World War II fled the Netherlands from the German occupation of the Netherlands. They returned to the Netherlands shortly after the war ended.[1]

Education

After attending school in The Hague, he went to study political science at the University of Amsterdam, where he obtained a Bachelor of Social Science and a Master of Social Science in 1970. In 1978 he received his Doctor of Philosophy in social sciences at the Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Career

In 1980 he became a professor of political science and public administration at the Erasmus University Rotterdam.

From 1987 until 2011 he was a professor of public administration at Leiden University. he wrote among other things the study Coping with crises: The management of disasters, riots and terrorism (1989)[2] and The evil of terrorism (2007)[3] He was Dean of the Netherlands School of Government from 1989 until 1999, "a professional school for high-fliers in Dutch civil service and public sector specialists in corporate sector". He was on the Transport Safety Board 1997-2005.[4]

He was elected Member of the Senate as a member of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy and took office on 8 June 1999. He became the Parliamentary leader in the Senate on 5 May 2005. Mark Rutte asked Rosenthal to become the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the new cabinet.

Israel agenda as Foreign Minister

The Netherlands was part of the 2011 attack on Libya.[5] The country was also part of the 2011 proxy war against Syria. In March 2012, Rosenthal had a meeting in the Netherlands with representatives of the Syrian National Council, which were openly supported. He emphasized that President Assad should step down and that the groups should unite.[6] He also called for members of the UN Security Council to agree on "targeted" sanctions against Syrian officials.[7]

The Netherlands-based foundation ICCO issued a press release on 13 January 2011 reaffirming its support for The Electronic Intifada, after a meeting between ICCO and Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal. In November 2010, Rosenthal had publicly criticized and promised to investigate ICCO’s support for The Electronic Intifada after NGO Monitor — an Israeli organization with close links to the Israeli government, military and the West Bank settler movement — published a series of allegations against the publication.[8] Since 2006, The Electronic Intifada has received approximately one-third of its funding from ICCO. I

In 2011 the Netherlands temporarily froze official contacts with Iran.[9] The pretext was the execution of a Dutch-Iranian woman for being part of a drug-smuggling ring, but which in Commercially-controlled media was implied as a political punishment[10] The woman had a previous conviction in the Netherlands, found guilty of smuggling nearly 16 kilos of cocaine from the Caribbean in her luggage in 2003. [11]

In November 2011, the Netherlands wanted to extend the scope of European Union sanctions against Iran, including measures against Iran's central bank to stop certain types of money flows. Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal said in a statement that Iran's cash and gold transactions which bypass sanctions should be stopped, key government officials should be put on a sanction list and new sanctions for Iran's oil and gas sector should be considered.[12]

In 2012, Rosenthal said the European Union should brand Hezbollah a terrorist organization, a move that would enable the bloc to freeze the group's assets in Europe.[13]

Later career

As of March 1, 2013, Rosenthal was chairman of the advisory council on Science and Technology Policy (AWT).[14] He was also chairman of the Council for Civil-Military Care and Research (rzo) from 25 April 2014.[15]

From 2013 until March 2017 Rosenthal was the Dutch Government’s Special Envoy for International Cyber Policy.[16]

In 2024 he was interviewed by the Israel lobby front group Christenen voor Israel ('Christians for Israel')[17] after having vistied Gaza in an Israeli military convoy, explaining that why the Israeli military is demolishing every building is because "every school, mosque, house, building, every medical center, and not only that but also in all kinds of places has stored explosives, which means that again it is an impossible task for the Israeli military" to let them stand[18].
