In a coordinated international action, twelve countries, led by the United Kingdom, France and Canada, have announced far-reaching measures against illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The UK is introducing an import ban on goods from these settlements, banning advertising and preparing a comprehensive sanctions regime. The move led to a diplomatic break with Israel, which took immediate retaliatory measures.
On Tuesday, several states, including France and the United Kingdom, announced a ban on imports of products from Israeli settlements into the occupied Palestinian territories, with limited economic consequences.
The UN has expressed support for a decision by 12 countries, including the UK and France, to impose trade restrictions on products from the occupied Palestinian territories.
United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese, regarding the announcement by 12 countries, including the UK and France, that they will ban trade with the occupied Palestinian territories, said, "Other states should follow suit, build upon this, and re-establish respect for the rule of law."
