Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar announced that Dutch representatives will be expelled from the Gaza civil-military coordination center in Kiryat Gat and ordered to leave Israel within one week. According to Sa'ar, the move comes in response to a series of hostile measures by the Dutch government against Israel, including an upcoming ban on trade in Israeli products from Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. Sa'ar said the decision was approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has already been communicated to the Dutch Embassy and to the United States. The move signals growing friction between Jerusalem and European governments over policies targeting Israeli communities beyond the 1967 lines, as Israel continues to push back against what it views as discriminatory economic measures from Western allies.
