The Dutch government officially adopted a resolution on Friday, May 22, 2026, banning the import and trade of goods produced within Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories and the Syrian Golan. Amsterdam stated that this step aligns with international
law and United Nations resolutions, which deem these settlements illegal. Dutch officials emphasized that settlement expansion and settler violence undermine the two-state solution, calling on European Union countries to take similar measures to halt indirect economic support for illegal activities
in the territories occupied since 1967.
