A girl
sitting in front of the ruins of her family’s home in Gaza Strip
Henk Zanoli
was presented with Israel’s Holocaust medal for hiding a Jewish child from the
Nazis during World War Two.
But the
Dutchman has returned his medal to the Israeli embassy in The Hague stating he
could no longer own the honour.
He returned
the medal after six of his family members were killed in an Israeli air strike
on Gaza.
It has been
estimated upwards of 2,000 people, the majority being Palestinian, have been
killed in this latest conflict since July 8.
The Israeli
Embassy in the Netherlands declined to comment.
Peace talks
have resumed in Paris between Israeli and Palestinian authorities with the end
of the five day ceasefire coming up.
