    • 2020, Eric van de Beek, “Assad curse strikes again: Dutch official embarrassed”, in The Frontier Post‎[1], archived from the original on 17 July 2023:
      ‘‘President Assad of Syria should be put on trial at the International Criminal Court”, Dutch minister of Foreign Affairs Bert Koenders publicly stated in 2016. He now may face charges from ICC himself, since it’s been revealed he supported terrorists in Syria. […] In 2017 Dutch Bert Koenders joined the club. Only one year after he had called upon the International Criminal Court (ICC) to put Assad on trial, his party, PvdA, dramatically lost the national elections, which forced him to resign as minister of Foreign Affairs and made him the laughing stock of Assad curse jokers on social media.
