UK government says France and Canada will join it in banning goods from Israeli West Bank settlements
Middle East4 sources4 countries8m ago
The United Kingdom government has announced a sweeping ban on goods originating from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, marking a significant toughening of its diplomatic stance. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband stated that the UK is part of an international coalition that includes France and Canada, with Denmark, Finland, and Iceland also involved.
In its strongest condemnation to date, the UK government accused Israeli settlers, whom it described as "terrorists," of conducting ethnic cleansing in the West Bank with the tacit backing of the Israeli government. The measures include comprehensive sanctions on trade with these settlements as part of a coordinated international effort.
