> The Israel Product Centre in the Netherlands is suing the Dutch state over a ban on goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. It calls the measure discriminatory and contrary to EU free-trade rules, while the government says it is needed to avoid economically supporting Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land. The centre rejects that reasoning and accuses the government of criminalising Jewish life.
