Britain, France and Canada on Tuesday moved to block imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, while a wider group of Western countries signalled they may take further steps to defend the two-state solution amid mounting concern over settlement expansion and violence in the territory.The trade measures are the latest in a series of actions targeting Israel’s settlement policy and underscore its growing diplomatic isolation among some of its traditional allies.British ‌Foreign Minister Ed Miliband said Britain could no longer simply “call out” injustice and suffering, but had to act to oppose the expansion of settlements, which he said threatened the viability of a Palestinian state.A Reuters report published on Tuesday found Israel’s government is financing some of the West Bank’s most radical settlers, who use illegal outpost farms to displace Palestinians.Britain’s Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband leaves after a cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street, in London on Tuesday.
