Palestine supports the Netherlands’ ban on settlement products
Jerusalem, May 22 (Hibya)- The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates welcomed the Netherlands’ decision to ban the import and marketing of products originating from Israeli settlements and called on all countries to take similar steps.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates issued a statement regarding the Netherlands’ decision to ban the import and marketing of products from illegal Israeli settlements located in the occupied Palestinian territories and East Jerusalem.
The statement said the decision was in line with international law, humanitarian values, and relevant United Nations resolutions, describing it as an important legal and political step.
The ministry emphasized that the move was not merely a commercial decision, but also carried a strong message that settlement policies should neither be recognized nor supported internationally.
The statement also called on all countries to take broader measures such as banning the import of settlement products, cutting commercial ties with related companies, and strengthening international accountability mechanisms.
The Palestinian side reiterated that a lasting and just peace can only be achieved through the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian State based on the 1967 borders.
