Passengers arriving in Amsterdam from Tel-Aviv have reported undergoing unusual inspections of their luggage. This follows a new Dutch regulation implemented on September 22, which prohibits the import of goods from Israeli settlements in areas considered occupied territory. The rule applies to items like souvenirs brought by air, but there is no official confirmation that all flights from Israel are being systematically checked. According to a report published on September 25 by NieuwRechts, passengers arriving on an El Al flight were directed to a customs check after an officer said, "You came from Tel-Aviv? [...] Everyone coming from Israel, come this way!" Other media have repeated similar accounts, mentioning that luggage was scanned with X-ray machines. However, these reports do not confirm that all passengers arriving from Israel or all El Al flights are being searched at Amsterdam-Schiphol airport. The Dutch ban prohibits importing goods that are entirely or partially made or obtained in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. This is not a ban on all Israeli products, only those from these specific areas. Dutch customs officials explain that this includes items such as gifts, souvenirs, and personal-use items, even if purchased before the regulation took effect. The key factor is the product's origin, not where the traveler boarded the flight. Customs recommend travelers keep labels, packaging, or documentation that can confirm the origin of the goods. If uncertain, travelers are directed to the "Goods to Declare" exit. If prohibited items are found, passengers may choose to surrender them, or they may be seized. A report is filed, and the prosecutor's office decides on any legal action. At Schiphol, the inspection is a customs check upon arrival, focusing on the goods being transported, and not a security check conducted before boarding. The regulation assigns responsibility for monitoring the import ban to Dutch customs officials, who state they can inspect luggage but emphasize that checks are based on objective information and risk assessments. Customs clarify that factors such as origin, nationality, religion, or appearance are not reasons for inspection. On the diplomatic front, Israel responded to the regulation on September 27. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar announced that Israel would withdraw diplomatic documents granted to Dutch representatives stationed in Ramallah within seven days.
