Denouncing ‘ethnic cleansing’ in West Bank, UK announces trade ban with settlements
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported7m ago
The United Kingdom has announced a ban on trade and imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. British officials stated that the measure was implemented because settlement terrorists are responsible for conducting 'ethnic cleansing' against Palestinians.
In response, Israeli officials denounced the U.K.'s move as 'outrageous,' a sentiment echoed by 11 other countries. Gideon Sa'ar stated that Israel will not bow to 'jihadists, Islamists, antisemites, far-leftists and wokes,' and announced the shuttering of the U.K. consulate in Jerusalem.
