Netherlands Hub for Illegal Settlement Goods

The Netherlands is the EU’s biggest gateway for produce from illegal Israeli settlements — despite pledging to ban such trade. Over 13 million euros worth of goods, falsely labeled “Product of Israel,” have slipped through in the past eight years, with dates leading the charge. Dutch ports handled a third of these shipments, many rerouted to other EU nations. Customs catches are rare, and Israel reportedly reimburses exporters for lost tariff breaks — costing at least 63 million euros since 2005. Enforcement is expected to be tough, and legal action looms after the ICJ declared the occupation illegal. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
