Israeli authorities on Sunday revoked the diplomatic status of Dutch diplomats representing the Netherlands to the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, Shehab Wire reported. The move came in response to Dutch sanctions targeting Israeli settlements.
The escalation marks a sharp diplomatic confrontation between the two countries over settlement policy and international penalties aimed at Israeli colonial expansion in occupied Palestinian territory.
