Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has ordered the expulsion of Dutch representatives from the International Support Center for Gaza in Kiryat Gat, following a series of anti-Israel moves by the Dutch government, including legislation banning trade with Israeli communities in Judea, Samaria, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, Israeli media report.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has ordered the expulsion of Dutch representatives from the International Support Center for Gaza in Kiryat Gat, according to a report from N12. The decision follows a series of anti-Israel measures by the Dutch government, including legislation banning trade with Israeli communities in Judea, Samaria, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
The Zioneer reported earlier this evening that Sa'ar had announced the expulsion. The new report from N12 provides additional details on the rationale. The Dutch law, approved earlier this year, has drawn sharp criticism from Israeli officials. The expulsion marks a significant diplomatic step by Israel in response to what it views as hostile Dutch policies.
