The Netherlands has summoned Israel's ambassador following a decision by Israeli authorities to revoke the diplomatic status of Dutch staff, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
Dutch broadcaster NOS reported that Dutch diplomatic personnel stationed in Ramallah have been given seven days to leave Israel as a result of the move.
Further details on the reasons behind Israel's decision, or on the Netherlands' formal response beyond the summoning of the ambassador, were not immediately available.
The development marks a notable diplomatic friction point between the two countries, though neither government had issued extensive public comment on the matter at the time of reporting.
