Twelve countries, including the United Kingdom, France, and Canada, announced plans Tuesday to sanction trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The joint action comes in response to what the nations described as an unprecedented and increasing level of settler violence against Palestinian villages in the occupied territory.
Ahead of the implementation, a United States envoy issued a warning to the U.K. against the new sanctions plan. Meanwhile, British Foreign Minister Ed Miliband addressed the measures, signaling the coordinated diplomatic step taken by the coalition of U.S. allies.
