13 Republican State Attorneys General Warn UK And Netherlands Of Economic Retaliation Over Settlement Sanctions
The attorneys general warned the sanctions could trigger U.S. trade remedies and disrupt access to goods, services and technology, according to their letter.
- Thirteen U.S. state attorneys general urged the United Kingdom and the Netherlands last week to rescind trade sanctions on Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, warning such measures undermine American economic interests and align with terrorist policy goals.
- Led by Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, the coalition stated on Monday that these sanctions 'impose potentially severe economic harm' on American states, potentially warranting remedies under United States trade law if nations persist in their anti-Israel campaign.
- European companies may face disqualification from contracting with American states, a consequence that could deprive British and Dutch citizens of 'goods, services, and technology that are essential to their everyday lives and their economic wellbeing,' the attorneys general added.
- The United Kingdom's Labour government recently issued sanctions targeting what British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband described as 'illegal settlements and settlement expansion,' while the Netherlands designed measures to target 'extremist settlers and organisations which support them.'
- One London kosher wine store owner told the Jerusalem Post that the sanctions would knock out 'more than half of our inventory,' noting that the industry in Judea and Samaria is operated by international businessmen rather than 'extremist settlers.
