Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported57m ago
On Tuesday, the United Kingdom enacted a ban on trade involving goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, marking a significant toughening of its stance. British officials stated the move is part of a comprehensive policy reset on Israel, driven by concerns over settler violence and accusations that settler terrorists are carrying out the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the region.
Following the UK's announcement, France joined the initiative, with its foreign minister stating that France and other countries are launching a process to ban settlement products. According to participating nations, the rising wave of settler violence has severely undermined the prospects for achieving a two-state solution with the Palestinians.
