The United Kingdom has announced a trade ban on goods originating from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The decision was officially revealed by the UK's foreign secretary.

In commentary surrounding the announcement, Labour Member of Parliament Abtisam Mohamed argued that while the trade ban alone will not end the occupation, the economic pressure it creates will restrict resources and alter business decisions, serving as a first step toward justice for Palestinians.
