Britain has announced a ban on imports of goods produced in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank as part of a wider package of measures targeting expanding Israeli settlements and intensifying settler pogroms against the Palestinians.
In a speech to Parliament, UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband dialled up the rhetoric compared with previous British governments, accusing Israel of carrying out “ethnic cleansing” in Palestine and reaffirming the UK’s longstanding position that Israeli settlements across the occupied West Bank are “unlawful”.
