Robert Frank Willem "Wim" Kortenoeven (born 29 May 1955) is a Dutch author, journalist[1][2] and former politician.
From 2000 to 2010 he was an employee of Centrum Informatie en Documentatie Israël (CIDI), a Dutch centre providing information about Israel.
As an MP he focused on matters of foreign policy (Middle East, Russia and Asia) and the armed forces of the Netherlands.
In parliament he criticised Islam and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, referred to Istanbul as "Constantinople",[8] and called for "preventive action" against Iran's nuclear installations by Israel and the United States.
[1] Being the only member of his party to vote against banning ritual slaughter (both a Jewish and Muslim practice),[10] Kortenoeven announced on 3 July 2012, in the wake of a press conference by Geert Wilders, that he had just left the PVV due to internal struggles.
