Israel has stripped Dutch diplomats in Ramallah of their diplomatic credentials following the Netherlands' ban on trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar announced on Sunday that the Dutch diplomats must return their Israeli-issued diplomatic documentation within seven days, after which their privileges and immunities will expire.
Sa'ar stated that if the Netherlands wishes to continue representing its interests with the Palestinians, it must do so from Palestinian Authority territory, not from Israeli territory. The move follows the Netherlands' implementation of a nationwide ban on 22 September, prohibiting the import, purchase, and sale of goods from Israeli settlements amid growing tensions and violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
