UK to restrict trade with West Bank settlements; Israel may retaliate
BBC World·GB · IL · PS·2 days ago
British PM Burnham publicly defended the government's decision to restrict trade with Israeli settlements, framing it as standing with the weaker side in forced displacement contexts. This marks a notable policy stance shift, though details on scope and implementation remain unclear. The move could strain UK-Israel relations and signal broader European alignment on settlement trade.
