The Guardian urges Britain to ban settlement trade
The British newspaper The Guardian has called for a comprehensive trade ban on Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem, including preventing British companies from financing, building, and advertising, in order to stop support for illegal settlement activities under international law. The recommendation comes amid rising tensions, with over 1,400 settler attacks since the beginning of the year and increased settlement expansion in East Jerusalem, where such measures are believed to help curb settlement growth that is viewed as threatening the prospects of establishing a Palestinian state. The British government considers that firm actions are necessary to promote a two-state solution, despite Israeli threats to respond to such sanctions.
