The Netherlands will begin its ban on the import, purchase, and sale of goods from Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories on September 22, 2026, the Dutch government announced Tuesday. The government already decided on the sanctions on May 22, 2026, and the Council of State has now issued its advice, which has not led to any changes to the decision. The ban was made official today and will enter into force on September 22.
The Dutch government considers the settlements unlawful. With the proposed measures, the Netherlands says it is giving further substance to its obligation under international law not to contribute to this “unlawful” situation.
