Story summary

On September 27, Israel revoked the diplomatic status of Dutch diplomats stationed at the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority in response to Dutch sanctions targeting Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. This move follows a similar action by Israel earlier in September when it closed the British Consulate in East Jerusalem after Britain imposed sanctions banning imports from Israeli settlements. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced that Dutch diplomats must return their Israeli-issued diplomatic documentation within seven days, effectively stripping them of their diplomatic privileges and immunities in Israel. The Netherlands’ ban on goods produced in Israeli settlements went into effect the previous week. In a statement, Saar warned any country acting against Israel unilaterally would lose influence in the region.
