London: Britain will announce ​a trade ban on goods ​made in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank ​later on Tuesday, confirmed a senior minister, as part of the UK's efforts to support a two-state solution.Six weeks into his new job, ‌foreign minister ⁠Ed Miliband flagged ⁠last week that he was looking at resetting Britain's policy on Israel, ​and he is due to make a statement on Israel and trading ​restrictions in the House of Commons.Britain's new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, also in office since July, spoke to U.S. President ​Donald Trump on Monday to stress the "the importance ⁠of the ‌two-state solution", in what is seen as ​a reference ​to the sanctions.Miliband said last week that Israel's ⁠E1 settlement project in the West Bank would cut ​across land which the Palestinians seek for a ​state, putting at risk the two-state solution.Asked about how the trade ban would operate, pensions minister Pat McFadden did not give details."The foreign secretary will make a statement to Parliament later today," McFadden told Times Radio."The reason that danger ‌has become more urgent is because of expanded settlement activity in recent weeks and months."U.N. bodies and ​most governments, ​including Britain, consider ⁠Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, and regard the West Bank as territory under Israeli military occupation.Israel argues that ​the territory is disputed rather than occupied, and asserts that Jews have a historical right to the land.The Israeli prime minister's office and the foreign ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
