UK Suspends Trade Talks with Israel, Summons Ambassador Over Gaza Aid Blockade

  • On May 27, 2025, the UK government halted trade talks with Israel and introduced sanctions aimed at settlements in the West Bank in response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
  • This decision followed Israel's renewed military offensive in Gaza since May 5 and persistent extremist settler violence in the occupied West Bank, prompting condemnation from the UK, France, and Canada.
  • The UK also summoned Israel’s ambassador and announced sanctions on seven settler-related entities and three individuals, while acknowledging a nearly three-month blockade that blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza, leading to famine warnings.
  • British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the suffering of children in Gaza 'utterly intolerable' and said a ceasefire was necessary to free hostages Hamas still holds, while Foreign Secretary David Lammy urged action against settler violence.
  • The UK’s move signals growing international pressure on Israel and strained relations, though Israel’s foreign ministry rejected external pressure as unlikely to change its military strategy.
