Dutch personnel to be expelled from Kiryat Gat over Netherlands anti-Israel policies, FM Sa'ar says

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar announced that Dutch personnel stationed in Kiryat Gat are to be expelled in response to the Netherlands' anti-Israel policies. Sa'ar pointed to a recent Dutch ban on importing products manufactured in Israeli West Bank settlements as a primary example of these policies.

The decision marks a diplomatic escalation between the two nations over the issue of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which are a point of contention in international relations and trade policy.
