Israel Revokes Dutch Diplomatic Status and Summons Spanish Envoy Over Policy Disputes
Israel has revoked the diplomatic status of Dutch envoys in the occupied West Bank after the Netherlands enforced sanctions banning goods from Israeli settlements. Dutch diplomats have seven days to return Israeli-issued papers, with privileges expiring thereafter. The Dutch government said the ban complies with international law regarding illegal settlements. Separately, Israel summoned Spain's charge d'affaires over remarks by Spain's youth minister supporting a Palestinian state "from the river to the sea," which Israel views as hostile. Both disputes reflect rising diplomatic tensions over settlement policies and Palestinian statehood.
