Christian group sues government over West Bank trade ban

Dutch group Christians for Israel is challenging the government’s upcoming ban on importing goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and Golan Heights, set to take effect on September 22 for three years. The Israel Product Centre, part of Christians for Israel, filed proceedings arguing the ban is unjust and conflicts with EU free movement principles. A verdict is expected in about two weeks, as the legal debate intensifies over the status of these territories.
