Israel Revokes Dutch Diplomats' Status Over West Bank Settlement Sanctions
Israel has revoked the diplomatic status of Dutch diplomats in the occupied West Bank after the Netherlands imposed sanctions banning goods from Israeli settlements. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced the diplomats must return their Israeli-issued papers within seven days, after which their privileges will expire. This action follows similar Israeli responses to other countries enforcing settlement-related restrictions, amid ongoing international criticism of Israel's policies in the West Bank and Gaza.
