UK announces sanctions on Israeli settlements in West Bank and accuses settlers of 'ethnic cleansing'
The measures target settlement imports and services, with officials saying expansion is undermining a two-state solution and prompting wider international pressure.
- Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced a comprehensive set of UK sanctions against Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, openly accusing "settler terrorists" of carrying out ethnic cleansing with tacit Israeli government support.
- The measures include a complete import ban on goods produced in West Bank settlements, alongside prohibitions on services, financing, construction, real estate, and advertising linked to illegal outposts.
- Miliband formally stated that the UK now considers Israel's entire occupation of the West Bank unlawful, framing the trade and export restrictions as a critical intervention to preserve the viability of a future two-state solution.
- Israeli officials fiercely condemned the move, with Foreign Minister Gideon Saar threatening retaliatory actions against Britain and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich demanding the immediate expulsion of the UK ambassador.
- U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee criticized the sanctions as discriminatory against the Jewish people, warning that the policy shift could trigger economic or political retaliation from Washington.
