Israel Evicts Netherlands from Gaza Coordination Center

The Government of Israel is evicting the Netherlands from the U.S.-led Civil-Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced the decision on Tuesday, citing a forthcoming Dutch law that would ban trade with products from the Golan Heights, eastern Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria.

Sa’ar stated the expulsion takes effect immediately, though Dutch representatives have one week to leave the country. He characterized the Dutch policy as being accompanied by an "unprecedented wave of antisemitism and boycotts," asserting that those acting against Israel will have no foothold in the region.

The coordination center was established by United States Central Command in October 2025 to manage the Gaza ceasefire, humanitarian aid delivery, and post-war stabilization planning. The facility hosts the Israel Defense Forces, U.S. personnel, and various multinational delegations.
