Israel has revoked the accreditation of Dutch diplomats posted in the West Bank in response to a ban imposed by the Netherlands on importing products from Israeli settlements, according to Le Monde.
The Dutch decision goes beyond imports: it also affects businesses and travellers, whose luggage is now searched at the airport to detect any settlement products.
This Israeli retaliatory measure comes in a context of growing tensions between Israel and several European governments over settlement policy in the West Bank.
Dutch authorities have not yet issued an official response to the revocation of their diplomats' accreditation.
The dispute adds to a series of diplomatic frictions between Israel and Europe over Israeli settlements.
