> Israel is revoking the diplomatic status of Dutch officials representing the Netherlands at the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said the move responds to Dutch sanctions on goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and ordered the diplomats to return their Israeli-issued documents within seven days. The Dutch Foreign Ministry has not commented.
