Jerusalem, 25 August, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, with the approval of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, decided to immediately expel Dutch representatives from the International Support Center for Gaza in Kiryat Gat, following what Israel described as a series of anti-Israel actions by the Dutch government, most recently a law banning trade with Israeli products from Judea and Samaria, eastern Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights, set to take effect next month.

Notice of the decision was delivered Tuesday evening to the Embassy of the Netherlands in Israel and to the United States. The representatives were asked to leave Israel within a week.

Sa’ar said, “Anyone who acts against Israel will have no foothold in the region. Israel will not allow measures taken against it to pass without a response.”
