Israel has revoked the diplomatic accreditation of Dutch officials in the West Bank. This decision was made in response to the Netherlands' enforcement of a ban on goods from Israeli settlements, which took effect on 22 September.
The Israeli Foreign Minister, Gideon Sa’ar, announced that the Dutch diplomats operating in Ramallah must return their Israeli-issued diplomatic documentation within seven days. After this period, their diplomatic privileges and immunities will expire.
If the Netherlands wishes to continue representing its interests with the Palestinians, it may do so from Palestinian Authority territory, rather than from the territory of the State of Israel, according to Sa’ar.
