Israel Expels Two Dutch Officials over Settlement Goods Ban - DutchNews.nl
- On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar announced that Dutch representatives must leave Kiryat Gat's International Support Center for Gaza within one week following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approval of the expulsion.
- The Dutch government's ban on the import and sale of products from Israeli West Bank settlements and the Golan Heights prompted the decision, with legislation taking effect September 22.
- Sa'ar stated that Dutch policies have been accompanied by an "unprecedented wave of antisemitism" in the Netherlands, asserting that "whoever acts against Israel will have no foothold in the region."
- Israel's Foreign Ministry previously expelled Spain from the Civil-Military Coordination Center in April, citing the "anti-Israel obsession" of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's government; the Netherlands is the second country removed.
- Tensions have extended into the cultural arena, with Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS announcing Monday it will boycott the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest, citing the situation in Gaza and lack of clear rules for excluding countries in major military conflicts.
