- Israel revokes diplomatic status for Dutch diplomats in Ramallah.
- The action is a response to Dutch import ban on goods from disputed territories.
- Diplomats must return documentation within seven days.
- Immunities and rights granted by Israel will expire after this period.
Israel is revoking the diplomatic status of Dutch diplomats operating in Ramallah, effective immediately. The decision follows the implementation of a Dutch order that prohibits the import and trade of goods originating from the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights.
Foreign Minister Gideon Saar informed the Dutch Embassy in Israel that the affected diplomats must return their Israeli-issued diplomatic documentation within seven days. Following this period, any immunities and rights previously granted to them by Israel in this capacity will expire.
The move signifies a significant diplomatic escalation between the two countries, stemming directly from the Dutch government's policy regarding products from disputed territories.
