Israel Warns Travelers to Netherlands of 'Intrusive' Customs Checks
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a warning to Israeli citizens traveling to the Netherlands, advising them to prepare for potentially lengthy and "intrusive" baggage inspections. This advisory follows the implementation of a new Dutch decree, effective September 22, which prohibits the import of goods originating from Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights.
The decree classifies the import of such goods as a criminal offense, punishable by fines and potentially imprisonment. In recent days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received reports of customs inspections targeting passengers arriving in the Netherlands on flights from Israel. The ministry is currently investigating these reports to ascertain the scope and implementation of the new decree.
The Israeli government views this Dutch measure as a serious step and has stated that "response measures have been taken." The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated its warning, urging potential travelers to the Netherlands to anticipate difficulties and extensive baggage checks. The ministry and the Israeli Embassy in The Hague are monitoring the situation and will provide updates to the public.
