Zionist authorities indicated that the Dutch representatives must leave Israel within a week.
On Tuesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced the expulsion of the Dutch delegation from the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in Kiryat Gat, established to monitor the ceasefire in Gaza.

Saar explained that the decision, made with the approval of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is a response to “anti-Israeli actions” by the Dutch government, including the passage of a law prohibiting trade in products from occupied territories.
The official statement indicated that the Dutch representatives must leave Israel within a week. The notification was sent to the Dutch embassy in Tel Aviv and to “our American friends.”
The minister asserted that the Netherlands’ policies have provoked “an unprecedented wave of antisemitism and boycotts,” warning that those who act against Israel “will have no foothold in the region.”
A centre selling Israeli products in the Netherlands is suing the Dutch state over a planned ban on goods from illegal West Bank settlements, calling it discriminatory. The government says the measure avoids backing Israel’s occupation.

The Global Coordination Centre (GCCC), established in November 2025 as part of the US-backed peace plan, coordinates the entry of humanitarian aid and the stabilization of Gaza. It is headed by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Chief Brad Cooper, with the participation of some 20 countries.
Israel also previously expelled Spain, accusing Pedro Sanchez’s government of “anti-Israel obsession” and of defaming its “heroes,” which, according to Saar, disqualifies it as a useful actor in the peace plan.
The move reflects the diplomatic tensions stemming from the U.S. plan for Gaza and Israel’s firm stance of responding to any action deemed hostile to its interests.
