Canada, the United Kingdom, and ten other European countries have announced trade sanctions targeting Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The measures ban the trade of goods and services with these settlements, with governments citing the expansion of the colonies as a direct impediment to a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In a related statement, British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband accused Israel of turning a blind eye to what he termed the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians within the occupied territory. The coordinated international actions mark a significant policy shift by traditional allies regarding economic ties with the contested territories.
