Israel Expels Dutch Delegation From Gaza Support Center Over Trade Ban

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar ordered the Dutch representatives removed immediately from the International Support Center for Gaza in Kiryat Gat, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approval. Israel notified the Dutch Embassy and the United States, and gave the representatives one week to leave the country. Sa'ar said the move answered a series of Dutch measures against Israel, most recently a ban on importing, buying and selling goods from Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. The Dutch measure, published in its official gazette, takes effect September 22.
