Is the Netherlands Banning Biblical Products?

 

In this special conversation from the sukkah, Shmuel sits down with Frank van Oordt , director of Christians for Israel (C4I) in the Netherlands, to discuss the dramatic new developments surrounding Israel and the Netherlands.

Since September 22, a new Dutch measure has come into effect banning the import, purchase, and sale of goods originating in Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria. The measure also applies to products carried in personal luggage, and Dutch Customs has confirmed that travelers’ bags may be inspected to enforce the new rules.

What does this development mean for Christians who stand with Israel? What does it reveal about the changing political relationship between the Netherlands and Israel? And what could it mean for the future of Israel, Judea and Samaria, and the wider relationship between Israel and Europe?

Shmuel and Frank discuss these questions openly from the perspective of Christians who care deeply about Israel and are watching these developments unfold firsthand.

Shalom,

Shmuel Junger
Executive Director
