Rumors of a Dutch diplomatic crisis have been spreading like wildfire through the financial district, leaving investors on edge. Yesterday, Dutch diplomats received news of Israel's decision to revoke their credentials in the West Bank, a move reportedly made in response to the Netherlands' ban on goods from Israeli settlements.
