Netherlands implements ban on goods from West Bank settlements and Golan Heights, prompting searches of Israeli passengers' luggage

The Dutch government implemented a ban on goods originating in the West Bank, east Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights, including partially produced goods. Dutch customs authorities began searching luggage of El Al passengers at Schiphol airport to enforce the ban. The head of Jewish Communities in The Netherlands criticized the policy and warned of growing pressure on Jews in the country.
