Israel strips Dutch diplomats in Ramallah of diplomatic status

Original: Israel revokes diplomatic status of Dutch diplomats in Ramallah

Israel has revoked the diplomatic status of Dutch diplomats based in Ramallah, according to Reuters. The move affects the Netherlands' diplomatic representation to the Palestinian Authority in the occupied West Bank and is likely to strain relations between Jerusalem and The Hague at a time of heightened European scrutiny of Israel's policies toward the Palestinians.

Why now: The unprecedented expulsion-style step against a European Union member state's diplomats is a significant diplomatic escalation drawing wide international attention.
